there are at leuHt half a million
such shipments each month. Par
cel post business of 1 h is clafs ik
ho greut in' fact that the cost of
compiling the figures would he
excessive and out of proportion to
the value of the data thus col
lected. Comnicntlnjr on the slKniflcancc
of the new figures. Director Klein
points out that where rormerly the
average .American business man
considered foreign sales as some
"fantastical super-mysterious Im
possibility,' today a mall ordr
from some remote point of the
earth for a parcel post package
caunes no more excitement than a
similar request from Uoston, Chi
cago, or San Krancisco. The most
gratifying feature of this new ex
port development. In Klein's opln-
ls the fact that It proves that
he American business man Is ut
last viewing foreign trade In Itf
rue light as merely "long dls
ance selling."
Our main slreet manufacturers
Inland towns, many of whom
have never neen Halt water, are
sending goods abroad as nonchal
entty and as expertly as their sup
posedly better informed rivals
with every seaboard fucility and
even as efficiently as some of the
branches of so-called "super-ex-porterK"
of foreign lands located
In American ports who arc sup
posed to have Inherited sales in
stincts from provlpus generations."
As soon as Hie Inland pro-
liieer realized that the doorway of
some good foreign customer was
no farther away than the n cares'
postofflce and that foreign sales
can ho Just us easily negotiated
In dollars as can domestic trans
actions, he has gone after foreign
trade in true American style. I he
whole thing Is a striking testi
monial to American adaptability
readiness to meet new condi
tions and opportunities. , It means
If there Is to bo any continued nn
certainty in th busineHs situation
It can be materially corrected
modified by resorting to overseas
markets. The products of Amerl
can farm and factorleH will he of
fered for salt- on foreign shelves
Instead of piling up In domestic
warehouses awaiting I Im readjust
ments of the home market."
