HASTY TRIPS FAIL
IN LATIN AMERICA
Yankee Travellers Warned to
Make Needed Preparations

The Importance Of careful and thor
ough preparation prior TO embarking on
commercial trip TO Latin America IS a
point which should not be overlooked by
those who are now making their first
voyage for business purposes.
The tendency natural to our impulsive
American temperament of simply dash
ing off as soon as the decision to take
the trip is made-at the first crack OF
the gun, as ii were-and with little
thought TO the details Of the trip, the
unusual conditions to be encountered
and the various special equipments which
may be required, frequently results in
much loss of time and money. IL not in
the actual failure OF the trip as a whole.
Prior to 1914 when the passport was

ports, vises, booking and sample re-
strictions which caused even the most
hasty TO consider some details in ad-
vance.
