The unshelled pecan is still practically unknown in most 

 large domestic markets, while it is not found on any of the 

 world markets outside of America. It is, therefore, evident 

 that the opportunity for the development of new markets is 

 almost unlimited, especially when one considers that the pecan 

 has been more than able to hold its own whenever and wher- 

 ever brought into open competition with other nuts.
