It has | been thoroly demonstrated by large | American interests in China that American firms suitable to the Chinese market can, possessing articles with the proper organization and @ . gradually build up a business there that will amply repay them for their efforts. little patien | “The question is, | ment of commerce today, “Why does not the United States participate to @ greater extent in the trade of China? An American consul recent- ly put this question to 10 representa tive business men-in China, five of whom are American and all of whom have been engaged on a large scale in the import and export trade for many years. Their replies were all |along the same line and may be summed up as follow ATTENTION TO PECULIARITIES NEEDED | The principal difficulty. is that | American manufacturers find it dif. |ficult to give sufficient attention to jthe peculiarities of the Chinese mar- | ket to meet the special requirements jof the trade, particularly as regards | the making of an article to meet the demands of the purchaser, rather | than one that merely corresponds to the {dea of the manufacturer. Terms and prices are too inflexi- | ble. Instead of granting more lib- eral terms or better prices when | Chinese conditions demand it, Ameri- can exporters often maintain fixed prices, and frequently a trade that has been built up with difficulty Is lost to a foreign competitor. We should never look upon the | Chinese market as a place where | koods may be disposed of when trade conditions are poor in the United States. When the domestic demand is brisk in the United States, interest |in the Chinese market should not | disappear. | BUSINESS BUILDING | REQUIRES PATIENCE || The Chinese market requires in- finite patience, and we cannot over- | look the nature of this market and the chief characteristics of the Chi- nese people, namely, their conserva- tism and the difficulty with which they are induced to change their habits, Often a Chinese will pay more for an article that ts well known to him than he will for a similar article of superior quality with which he is not so well ac- quainted. f A well known brand—or “chop,” as jit is called in China—forms one of |the best guaranties of sal In | China, as in other countries, a jcan be established and made known jto the mass of potential customers Jonly by patient and constant adver. tising.
