LATIN AMERICA BUYS
MORE JEWELS IN u. S.

Object of Extending Trade.

The growth OF the United States Jewell
ry trade in Latin America is little APP
preciated by the general public. but the
American jewelry manufacturers have
been alert to read tho signs OF the
times" as given by the record of ex-
ports to South America, valued in round
numbers at $4,000 in. 1918. These fig
ures fell TO $4,000 in 1915 after the
beginning Of the war, but increased to
t163 900 in 1917.
American jewelry manufacturers, with
view to retaining this trade and per-
msnently replacing European manufac-
turers. are planning a systematic and
aggressive campaign for trade with the
South American countries and Cuba.
