TRADE CHANCES ARE OPEN.
Opportunity for American Hardware
- in Chile and Bolivia.

Opportunity for American hardware
merchants to build up a profitable
market for their products exists in
Chile and Bolivia, according to re-
port of an investigation of the hard
ware market in these two countries
by Verne L. Ravens. commercial at
tache Of the Department of Commerce.
While there seems to be a tendency
among the merchants Of these two
countries to prefer certain articles
from certain countries, such as ham,
mers. hatchets, axes. files and rasps
from the United States; braces, drill
ing machines, measures, scissors.
shears. razors. locks and lamps from
Germany. etc. the merchants are be-
ginning to look for a future supply
for their customers. and their ordinary
sources are cut off.
The American merchants can get this
as a temporary trade which can be
made permanent by careful attention
and fair treatment, in the opinion Of
Mr.. Ravens.
