Appraisers to Make Their Decisions of
Value in This Way.

The Board of United States General Appraisers,
it was said last week, with the encouragement of
the Treasury Department, is planning to make its
reappraisement decisions more valuable for the
guidance of appraising officials of the customs at
the different ports, as well as more interesting to
importers and shippers generally.
The improvement will take the form of publish-
ing opinions in important decisions, which has
rarely been done in the past. For many years the
reappraisements made by single General Apprais-
ers or by boards of three members of the tribunal
have, when published, been merely formal, and
always brief, recitals of the values at which ex-
porters invoiced foreign merchandise, together
with the figures at which the goods were reap-
praised. The result has been that the reappraise-
ment sheets issued by the Government have proved
of negligible value to merchants.
The new plan contemplates the writing of an
opinion in practically every important case stating
the facts surrounding the importation, the prices
at which goods are invoiced, the appraiser's ad-
vances over entered values, and the reasons in-
fluencing the single General Appraiser or the
board of three in reaching a decision. As has
been the practi-ce for many years, reappraisement
decisions under the new plan will not contain the
name of the American importer, owing to the re-
luctance of importers having the prices at which
they purchase merchandise becoming known to
competitors in this country. Many firms, however,
are able to learn the identity of the American im-
porter by the knowledge of the exporter's name as
appearing on the official reappraisement sheets.
Bell Brand Harmonicas
"Made in America"
Have won a national reputation because of their remarkable and durable
qualities. They are not the best merely because they are American made,
and the only harmonicas made in this country, but they stand competition
with the products of the world, embodying the very best musical qualities
and workmanship.
