Show American Business Hustle. Here is an Instance of the thoroughness thorough-ness with which Kngland's commercial commer-cial rivals do business. A leading municipality In the far east Is ordering order-ing a large quantity of electrical material, ma-terial, and the head of tbe department concerned was authorized to visit Germany, Ger-many, Great Britain and the United Slates to Inn pert plawits. Jl crossed to America first and found that the American agent from the city from which he came had notified every manufacturer of his visit and his mission, mis-sion, with the result that when he landed he received a sheaf of letters or Invitation from manufacturers, and of offers of hospitality. As a result, he saw everything he wanted under exceptionally favorable conditions, and every courtesy was shown to him. The German representative is doing precisely the same, but nothing whatever what-ever has been done by or on behalf of the Ilrltlsh manufacturer. If the representative wants to see anything In this country he haa to dig It out for himself, for r.obody seems to care for the business and nobody knows of It Iondon World. |
