Some Questions to Answer.

The advertising agency that aims to
function properly in relation TO the
Latin American trade must be equipped
to give expert advice from every possible
angle to all clients 1t should be pre-
pared to answer a multitude of technical
questions. such as the following:
What are the general market condi-
tons?
What is the language of the people?

customs habits?

An experience of a conservative bank

the questions. This bank recently opened

Buenos Ayres banks are not accus-

Using agencies can easily put the mes

in the chain that should lead to success
and prosperity, however. can be traced
TO the advertising agency in the major

information to n manufacturer who

A mcrican Citizenship an Honor.

The people who talk of law
compelling foreigners to become
citizens soon after coming to this
country have evidently given the
subject very little thought. This
is the same plan that Mexico is
adopting and to which citizens
of the United States doing bust
ness there are objecting to so
strenuously. Mexico says it wants
only Mexicans doing busiuNss in
Mexico. and the American CAPT

invited, to become such or get

The Fourteenth Decennial
Census is to be taken during the
month of January. 1920.
The first census of the United
States was taken in 1890, dur
ing the administration of George
Washington. 1t related solely to
population.
The Constitution of the United
States requires that a census of
the United States be taken every
ten years. 1t is by this means
that the apportionment of men,
bers of the House of Represent
atives is made as to states.
A census of the country's
manufactures was made for the
first time in 1910. Under the
present law a manufactures
census is to be taken in connec-
ton with the Fourteenth Decen-
NAL Census and every two years
thereafter.
The Sixth Decennial Census,
taken in 1910, was the first one
to cover agricultural statistics,
now one of the most important
parts of the entire census.
About $50 people were en-
gagged in taking the first census
of the United States. The 1920
census will require the services
Of 10000.
The statistics of the first cen
sus of the United States were
published in one small volume
consisting of Sc pages. The sta
tistics of the 1910 census re-
quired IL volumes having an ag-
gregate Of more than 10000
pages.
There were 1851 SOP farms re-
ported at the last decennial cen
sus, valued at more than 40 bill,
lions Of dollars. The 1920 cen
sus is expected to show more
than 100000 farms.
! The Census Bureau prints a
special supplement for each
State in the Union containing
all the census figures relating to
the State in question.
| 1t required Is months to com.
plete the enumeration work for
the first decennial census in
1890. In 1920 the Census Bureau
plans to complete the enumera.
tion work for the entire. coun.
try in from two to four weeks
and announce the population
figures in less than three months
from the date the enumeration
work is completed.
