There is also a branch office in San Francisco, and one has recently been established in New Orleans in anticipation of the opening of the Panama Canal. Through their bank¬ ing department W. R. Grace & Co. have exceptional facilities for collecting in Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador, and they will issue letters of credit and cable transfers available in practically all parts of South America.
In packing merchandise for shipment to the west coast of South America, the buyers of W. R. Grace & Co., as well as the steamship department heads, wish to caution manufacturers that they must follow instruc¬ tions carefully, both as to interior packing and outside casing or baling, as much of the"merchandise is eventu¬ ally destined for the interior, thus becoming subject to frequent handling and exposure to the elements. The manner in which goods are packed is, in fact, one of the most important elements of success or non-success in these markets. On shipments to Chile the shipping marks on all packages must be stencilled, as brush marking is not allowed. Failure to observe the proper shipping instructions inevitably causes delays, annoy¬ ance and expense, and considerable loss of business to American manufacturers has already resulted.

For instance, it is somewhat curious to note the differ¬ ent methods of farming in the same district. Repro¬ duced herewith are two photographs taken within  a

mile of each other. One of them shows the most up-to- date plowing outfit, a 30-60-horse power Mogul, pulling two engine gang plows and turning twelve furrows at the same instant. The other shows a group of bullocks, drawing what is known in this country as a stump jump plow. The bullock plowing outfit took up so much space that the camera was not able to get it all in. It took just twelve bullocks to draw a four-furrow plow.

Blenheim is located in a great barley district. It is a region of tremendous crops. IHC machines have proven best equi])i)ed to handle these heavy crops, and IHC dealers are among the most indispensable busi¬ ness men of the island,
