THE VALUE OF EFFORT.
An exporter once said, "If we could sell every
one of our dealers every one of our products we
would make undreamed-of profits," says Commerce
Reports. This phrase might be changed into, "If
we cultivate to the limit every market where po-
tential demand for our product exists," the results
would be the same. For although American export
activities touch in some measure every nook and
corner of the earth's surface, there are still many
neglected markets, some of them much closer at
hand than anyone imagines. These stand ready to
pay dividends on the proper investment of mer-
chandizing and export ability.
