First of All— 
they look well 
CREX Rugs look well in 
every room in the house. In¬ 
deed, they increase the charm 
and freshness of every room. 
There are colors both subdued 
and warm. Patterns formal 
and sprightly. Sizes to fit 
everywhere. And these rugs 
keep on looking well for a long, 
long time. The dirt is wiped 
off with a damp cloth, or shak¬ 
en out with a toss. You’ll al¬ 
ways be satisfied if you buy 
rugs with the name C-R-E-X 
woxen in the edge of the side 
binding. They’ll always look 
well— 
And More Than That 
they wear well 
CREX Rugs smile under an 
unbelievable lot of traffic. Two 
things make them wear well. 
The material — strong, new 
wire grass, selected for its 
husky fiber. And the weave— 
a special patented process by 
which the strands of grass are 
twisted, like the threads of 
steel in a cable, to give added 
sturdiness. Before you choose 
a rug—for any room in the 
house—look at CREX Rugs, 
and for your own protection be 
sure the name C-R-E-X is 
woven in the edge of the side 
binding. Dealers everywhere 
have them.

TRADE NOTES 
Status of Leading Swedish Industries 
While Swedish pulp and paper products con¬ 
tinue in fair demand, during the past three months 
the iron and steel industry has remained subject 
to considerable depression. With regard to the 
timber production, the cutting and sawing pro¬ 
gramme for the winter has been held down to a 
minimum owing to the disinclination of owners to 
close contracts for spring delivery of lumber at 
present prices. 
Baldwin Locomotive Head in Norway 
In an effort to learn the true transportation 
conditions in Russia, Samuel M. Vauclain, presi¬ 
dent of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, while in 
Christiania not long ago was in conference with 
Frith]of Nansen who told of his personal expe¬ 
rience in that country. After the conference with 
Dr. Nansen, Mr. Vauclain met at luncheon a num¬ 
ber of leading Norwegians engaged in industrial 
enterprises, including Olav Belsheim, Railway Di¬ 
rector Hoff, and engineers Buch and Storsand. 
Denmark Sending Potatoes to Cuba 
Danish potatoes are in big demand in Cuba 
where Emil Hjort Lorenzen, who has been a resi¬ 
dent of Cienfuego for seventeen years, has been 
energetic in making the Cubans familiar with 
other products of Denmark. Danish potato grow¬ 
ers are making special efforts to raise an article 
that will be of particular value in export as a big 
market is seen for them abroad. 
Preparing for Next Swedish Trade Fair 
Under the chairmanship of Count R. De la Gar- 
die, the committee appointed to arrange for the 
next Malmo Fair announces that as a result of 
the satisfactory outcome of the fair last year it 
had been decided to make this an annual insti¬ 
tution. The industrial, commercial, and banking 
organizations of Skane have united in planning 
an exhibition which shall draw attention to Swed¬ 
ish activity and make for greater sales not only 
at home but abroad. 
Danish Butter Exports in 1921 
Exportation of Danish butter last year reached 
a total of 90,000 tons, of which amount 62,000 tons 
went to England. Both of these figures are in 
excess of last year’s, when the total exports were 
70,000 tons, and England took 40,000 tons. Efforts 
are now made by the dairy industry to not only 
maintain production and export but to exceed 
the record of 1921. 
Norwegian Consulate for Constantinople 
In view of the extensive Norwegian interests 
in the near East and the Mediterranean, it has, 
been proposed to the Government of Norway! 
that it establish a paid consulate in Constantinople. 
This means that Norway will have a consul-general 
in that city. With regard to Greece, however^ 
the Norwegian Shipping Association, which is thcj 
proponent in the ipatter, avers that Athens is noj 
of enough importance from the commercial poinl 
of view to necessitate that a consul-general b< 
located in that city.
