Canada Is A World Customer .
advise importers es to the best methods of
approach to foreign suppliers. When importers
go .abroadto make purchases, the trade -com-
missioners willintroduce them to supply
house•'and agents, put them in touch with in-
terpreters, and assist them in every way
possible.
The Canadian International Trade .Fair has
shown for the second year that organized activ-
ity for the encouragement of imports is prom-
inent in Canadian minds. Fullest facilities are
provided for foreign producers to show Cen-
•
adian buyers a full range of everything likely
to find customers here.
It may' be said that Canadian banks which
maintain foreign branches and agencies are
following a healthy plan of assisting import-
ers. They gather trade and credit information,
suggest itineraries for importers who wish to
travel in search of goods, supply letters of
introduction, provide lists of firms which are
likely to have the goods sought by the im-
porter, and distribute trade information.
Trading between peoples of different na-
tions is not a new thing, Nature has so
distributed her bounties of soil, forest, mines,
waterflow, fisheries and other resources that
every nation can produce some things more
easily and cheaply than any other nation. Years
of practice have enabled certain nations to
develop special skills in manufacture. Men
and nations tend to produce the commodities
for which they are specially fitted by nature
or training,
CANADA HOLDS a unique place in world
economy—at least in that part of it which re-
mains independent and free.
She derives between 25 and 30 per cent
of her national income from her merchandise
export trade.
For this reason there is a great deal of
talk about 'exports. Every producer wants t�
ship some of his goods abroad, and that seems
the most important thing in the world.
We areclosely concerned with the pur-
chasing power of other countries, and that.
purchasing power depends upon what goods
other countries can sell, points out The Month-
ly Letter of The. Royal, Bank of Canada..
Canada is far from being self-sufficient.
To keep up 'our standard of living we must
import certain goods we cannot produce, or
cannot make economically. One of our main
purposes, indeed, in using our own specialized
resources to their full is to enable us to bring
in the things we are lacking.
Importance .of the import business has been
recognized by government agencies. The Im-
port Division of the Foreign Trade Service, De-
partment of Trade and Commerce, has been
set up to give information regarding produc-
tion, supply and price, conditions in foreign
markets, advice on import requirements, and
all matters connected with purchase of goods
abroad forsale here. Trade commissioners are
ready to give information about their ter-
ritories. They will recommend to intending
Canadian importers the names of responsible
supply houses, manufacturers and agents. They

Members of •the Empire Radio School

They thought the Station was equal to any-

similar missions.
During his visit to Huron County Thurs-

a spade or round -nosed shovel is

' Many different mixtures of.trees
can be planted. It is not advisable
to plant a large plantation of one
species, because if that species
were to be attacked by disease or
insects, the entire plantation may
be lost. However, if' a mixture
has been planted, the loss will be
less, as trees of other species will
survive. For , suggestions as to
possible mixtures, consult the

More funds: customers' deposits now reach nearly seven
