PITMAN'S COMMERCIAL SERIES 11 



COMMON COMMODITIES OF COMMERCE SERIES. 



Each book in crown 8vo, cloth, with coloured frontispiece and many 

 illustrations, maps, charts, etc., net is. 6d. 



This series is started with the object of enabling the business 

 man or trader, thoroughly to equip himself for the efficient perform- 

 ance of his specific work and to enlighten the general reader's mind 

 regarding some of our commonest commodities of commerce. In 

 each handbook a particular produce is treated by an expert writer 

 and practical man of business. Beginning with the life history of 

 the plant, or other natural product, he follows its development 

 until it becomes a commercial commodity, and so on through the 

 various phases of its sale in the market and its purchase by the 

 consumer. Volumes on Tea, Coffee, Cotton, Oil and Sugar start 

 the series. 



TEA. From Grower to Consumer. By A. IBBETSON. The author is 

 well known in the Tea world through his connection with the 

 important house of Messrs. Joseph Travers & Sons. Mr. Ibbetson's 

 pages give much help and information regarding the conditions of 

 the Tea trade, the w r orld's consumption of the product, and the 

 fluctuation in price, the crops of particular years, the mystery of 

 the art of blending, and so forth. 



COFFEE. From Grower to Consumer. By B. B. KEABLE. Mr. 

 Keabb, like Mr. Ibbetson, is in the well-known house of Messrs. 

 Joseph Travers & Sons, and can substantiate his claim to be an 

 authority on Coffee. His book will be found, as in the case of that 

 of Tea, to trace the progress of this commodity throughout. 



COTTON. From the Raw Material to the Finished Product. By 

 R. J. PEAKE. The author has had the supreme advantage of 

 being in . close touch with Mr. C. W. Macara, Chairman of the 

 Committee of International Federation of Master Cotton Spinners 

 and Manufacturers, who has contributed advice and read the 

 proofs of the book as it passed through the Press. This little 

 handbook will be found to contain just the kind of information that 

 is required on the greatest of our national industries.
