NOT SUFFICIENT POSTAGE
ON MAIL TO ARGENTINA

Buenos Aires, Sept. 27.-Failure OF
the majority of North American man
ufacturing and exporting concerns to
place sufficient postage on the letters
they send to Argentina is one OF the
details which is tending to cause an
unfavorable opinion here of Ameri.
can business methods, says the bal
letin of the United States Chamber
of Commerce in Argentina.
The bulletin is convinced that at
least 25 percent of the letters sent
here from the United States bear a
two-cent stamp instead OF the Ave
cents postage required. This means
that the recipients not only arS
obliged to pay the. additional three
cents but fine imposed by the Ar
gentine post Office regulations equiva-
lent to the deficiency, or total of six
cents. Many circulars and selling let
ters come with two-cent stamp and
1T may be readily understood how an
noying 1t is to Argentine firms to have
their correspondence treated In such
ia careless manner"
The bulletin also comments upon
the lack of even rudimentary knowl
edge OF geography" shown by some
American concerns in addressing let
ters. II cites the instance Of an Inn
portant letter addressed by the Cham.
