AMERICAN SHOES
FOR JAMAICA

The island Of Jamaica offers an at
tractive market for American shoe
manufacturers, as the products of the
country, such as sugar, p.mento, honey,
coffee, cacao. and logwood, are now
selling at good prices and imported
goods are more generally purchased
than ever before.
1t is a rather small market, however.
for although the population OF Jamaica
is $4,000, the sale of imported shoes
is restricted to about 100000 Of that
number, which includes the $4,000
white persons on the island
According to a report just issued
by the BYSeau Of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce. American manufacturers
are now supplying three-fourths OF
the 100000 worth Of shoes imported
annually into the country although It
is pointed out that much OF this trade
has come to us since the war started
and may or may not be retained when
normal times return. The American
shoe has won a fine reputation for
quality and especially for style.

Boots and Shoes in Jamaica" Special
