Services Of Business Press.

How the business press of the coun-
Etry serves industry was outlined yes
terday by A. c. Pearson. president of
the Business Publishers Association.
Explaining trade and technical pa
pers. Mr.. Pearson said. in part:
THE outstanding feature of bust
ness paper is that it confines itself to
those subjects which apply to its own
to business papers are interested in
both the editorials and advertise
| ments. they take these publications
for the serious purpose of getting
information and assistance in their
particular occupation and all the con-
tents bear directly on their business
| or profession.
Regardless of the great territorial
extent of the United States. there IL
a similarity in the business methods
and the kind of merchandise required
in all the different states, because of
the quick dissemination of informa-
ton through business papers. This
same connection can gradually be
established throughout all the Amer
icas.
ITO get a commercial understand
ing and to promote the interchange
| of trade it is necessary to read the
same publications and adopt the same
encouraging, therefore. that large
numbers Of the leading business pa
pers in the United States are produce
| ing foreign editions and that many
leading Latin American publications
are getting editorial information and
extensive advertising from the United
States
