PAPER IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 



a trained, intelligent, and alert man always on the spot or at least 

 in touch with the trade. 



The greatest printing and publishing firm in Edinburgh has 

 American presses, American folders, and American stereotyping 

 machinery. It is almost needless to add that this firm will not hes- 

 itate to substitute American for Scotch paper whenever a specially 

 attractive price for a good article or a moderate price for a spe- 

 cially attractive article may be named. The same statement applies 

 to most consumers of or dealers in paper. In this market, no senti- 

 mental objection to American manufacturers is met with. The 

 question of increasing trade resides primarily in the comparative 

 practical utility of the product offered and secondarily in the ability 

 to win the market, which is rarely accomplished in any community 

 without the aid of an expert in the business.
