Clark, In the Washington Post, "I bellovo no other men can touch the Americans In selling goods or boosting boost-ing tholr country.

They aro good mixers, quick to catch on and aro tho greatest great-est clvlllzers wo bavo, with the exception ex-ception of the newspapors. How faithful and patriotic they are none but those who havo Been them can appreciate. Tholr patriotism Is put to the real test, for anyone who has traveled trav-eled In a foreign country longs to got back homo when ho has been years away from his flrostdo. But the men stick to their work, knowing that It Is up to them to mako trade. And thyy aro doing It bravely and surely. Thero Is no better tt ado-mark In Europo today to-day than that which appears on Amor-lean Amor-lean goods. Foreign countries know it, too, for many of them are continually con-tinually ma!
