GIVES A GUfDE FOR
DRY GOODS SELLING
Charles Ritter Explains South
American End.

How can n large wholesale dry goods
house in this country send a represen-
tatlve TO South America to do direct
business with the large importers there
ard at the same time not confict with
the commission houses OF this cou,t.ry
is a question that is often raised by the
wholesaler and the commission house
and is answered by Charles Ritter of
Lawrence & Co., who has been to the
west coast several times in their in
teIests.
Mr.. Ritter says that many commission
merchants In this city believe that II
the wholesaler sends a man direct TO a
Latin American market this repre-
sentative will sell TO their customers
taking orders directly. and in that way
cutting out the commission house en-
tirelv. But such is not the case II. the
representative OF the dry goods house
follows out an Intelligent selling cam
paiRn.
Mr.. Ritter points out that " the dry
goods representative sells only to the
direct importer he will not be selling
to the customers OF the commission
house and will not interfere with the
business which the commission house
does in that territory. The importer
will be pleased. for in that way the
representative will not be selling to his
customers.
The above system OF selling is feast
Bile only for the piece goods business
and II it is carried out by our whole
salers here the South Americans will
not be able to say that the representa-
tives OF first class mills sell to any one
Unfortunately, which is the truth in
many cases.

OF Uruguay In New York

Americans who have travelled extern
Uruguay in America to what Belgium
was to Europe at the outbreak o. the
great war, not in a political sense, but
with regard to its population, commerce
and industry. Compared with its mighty
neighbors. Brazil and Argentina, it is
small indeed, but not less than twice
the size OF Portugal and about the same
size as New England combined with
Maryland. its population TO the square
mile is greater than that OF any other
country in South AmsSica.
The climate is beautiful healthful
and inviGoratng. Snow is practically
unknown; winters compare with October
and November in New York, while sum
mer has average temperatures like those
OF the State of Maine. II never gets
as hot as in New York, Chicago or st.
Louis.
There ia an almost unanimous ex-
preston OF surprise on the part OF
visitors at the absence of the Indian
and negro in the population Of the coun-
try. Uruguay is essentially a white
mans country.
A committee OF bankers who recently
made special study of Uruguay, re-
ported that because of its coast line OF
CPS miles, its equable climate. the en-
ergetic and progressive spirit OF its
people and its strategic position as a
commercial gateway to South America
it occupies place OF Importance en-
tirely ont OF proportion to its area or
population.
The Government is stable and the
credit of Uruguay has always been
jealousy guarded. With regard to pub
lie education the policy OF the Govern
ment becomes a shining example TO

Japanese Aim to Please.

The Japanese, like the Americans.
have discovered n great market in Latin
America. Japanese travelling men are as
countries as those from other countries.
Usually Japanese manufacturers are
represented by commission men and
agents of their own race. In every city
in Latin America you will find Japanese
trades people conducting establishments
full OF Japanese made goods.
The Japanese are extremely careful in
their desire to please.
During the last days of the war a firm
in Chile ordered some copper wire from
the United States. The War Trade Board
restrictions prohibited the shipment from
this country. The Chilean dealer then
cabled to Japan for the copper. He re-
ceived an answer that the copper was

Richness of Perm.

II the metallic richness of Peru Is
varied. so much or more than that is
its agricultural richness varied, because
its three natural zones, coast, mountain
and tropic, offer with its climate and
soil the most favorable conditions for
the most diverse cultivation, that Is to
say from those OF the cold climates to
those OF the tropics.
In no other country OF the world do
cotton and sugar cane find n more favor
able medium for cultivation than in
Peru, which. due to its quality, COM
petes with that produced in other coun-
tries.
Regarding cotton Peru produces to-
day the best type of the world. The
abundant and varied mineral and agri-
cultural richnesses make possible the
development Of the manufacturing indus
tries derived from them and also insure
the life Of the transportation lines
In order that union OF the North
American capital with the resources OF
South America may be accomplished n
is necessary that the latter make the
extent Of their natural wealth known
by means OF an active campaig and so
destroy the idea Of danger OF investment
which other countries may wish TO
create for their benefit.
This calls for a complete and mutual
understanding The countries Of Cen
trail and South America have ceased to
be the seats of constant revolution and
internal strife. The work OF bringing
the two Americas together, which is the
real pan-Americanism, could be fur
thered by the pan-American Office by
the establishment OF frequent CONNER
