CANADA'S TRADE WITH

Chinese civilization is the oldest in
the world and its government, based
upon that of the family, remained un-
changed in its root idea until the re -
Volution of 1912 when a republic was
proclaimed with a president, vice-
president, executive ministry and a
legislature of a Senate and House of
Representatives.
The area of China with dependencies
le almost four and a half million
square miles and is considerably larg-
er than that of Canada. The popula-
tion is close to 500 million which is
approximately the population of the,
British Empire, so that. China and the
British Empire' together own half the
population of the whole earth. Nan-

China is one of the countries with
which Canada does a fairly large busi-
ness, running last year up to over $9,-
000,000. The great bulk' of our imports
are peanuts and peanut oil, for China
is the home of that favourite nut. But
we get a great variety of other things
such as hemp., rice, soya bean oily bone
and ivory, cured fish, animal bristles,
eggs, cotton' lace and net, silk, wool

BILLY VAS
Says:
One of the most successful salesmen of this time, Mr. Billy
Van, says that successful salesmanship is simply the application of
showmanship to merchandising."
"The secret of success in acting is to •rehearse and rehearse
and rehearse until you have created an unforgettable impression
upon the Hund of the actor. He then lives his part, His sincerity
enables his audience to live it with him. Of course, the play must
be good. It gets you nowhere to have people say, "Billy Van was
great, but the show was rotten!" Similarly you must have a good
product, and because you are talking to a procession and not a
standing crowd, your advertising must be insistent and persistent,
You must rehearse and rehearse and rehearse if both the show and
the actors -the product and the actors -are to get their message
across -to create the unforgettable impression.
"There is no such thing as sales resistance to quality merchan-
dise at the right price," said Mr. Van. "The secret of salesmanship
is to give as much as possible for as little as possible.
