ing to United States Consul Waiter
H. Schuls of Aden* is *e gradual
extension of American fields beret*
fore almost exclusively occupied by
English, German and Austrisn com-
petitor*. Mr. Schulz enthusissticsl-
ly declares that the results may
largely be traced to the use of the
"Trade Oppart unity" pages of the
"Daily Consular and Trade Re-
ports/' and the co-operation of the
American consulate witji Aden busi-
ness wen. >
In his cheery and cheering letter
he sings a joyful lay of America in
this fashion: "The twentieth century
native is not only wearing American
cotton sheetings, trimmed and cut by
American scissors and sewed on
American sewing machines, burning
American kerosene, and riding in
American carriages, hut his children
ure being rolled about in American
collapsible baby carriages, while he
also rides in public arid private au-
tomobiles made in America, uses
American safety razors and strops,
American garters and American
starch, harnesses his wells with
American windmills, builds his
houses with American expanded
mctiil and Americnn hammers, pro-
pels bis boats with American oars,
and when in his coffee shop sips his
favorite beverage seated on an Amer-
icnn chair, while the sultan of the
Abdalis family is riding in an
American Victoria."
He savs the list is longer, but he
ends it with citing two large sales
of American goods, both under the
influence of "Trade Opportunities."
