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 
Scandinavian Use of American Sulphur 
In Swedish and Norwegian sulphite pulp mills 
there is renewed interest in the use of sulphur in¬ 
stead of pyrites. The mills gave up the extensive 
use of sulphur on account of the high price of the 
Sicilian product. Large deposits of copper and 
iron pyrites in Scandinavia were utilized. Now 
America can supply sulphur at satisfactory prices. 
Most supplies come through Texas ports. 
Norwegian Guaranty of Klipfish 
The Norwegian Department of Commerce has 
again recommended to the Government that it 
guarantee the prices of klipfish which may be pro¬ 
duced during the present season. This recom¬ 
mendation is based on the result of investigation 
as to the world production of klipfish in 1920. It 
is suggested that the sum of 3,000,000 kroner be 
appropriated for the purpose of redeeming its 
guaranty of this article. 
Market for American Pumps in Denmark 
There is a considerable demand in Denmark for 
pumps of the centrifugal and triplex kind. There 
would also be a good market for other pumps, such 
as thresher, bilge, and sink pumps but for the 
fact that the high exchange value of the American 
dollar works against extensive importations. 
American Business Men Watching Genoa 
While the American Government is not directly 
concerned with the Genoa Economic Conference, it 
is easily seen that in almost every line of business 
a watchful eye is kept on what the European na¬ 
tions are attempting to accomplish. The general 
opinion prevails, however, that the Washington ad¬ 
ministration did wisely in keeping away from that 
conference until the European differences were bet¬ 
ter adjusted. At the same time it is not desired 
that the United States shall lose any possible ad¬ 
vantage in doing business with Russia or the new 
states established since the war. 
Norway Sells Herring to Russia 
Large purchases of Norwegian herring have been 
made for the Russian Soviet Government. One 
purchase consisted of 400,000 barrels of herring 
and 20,000 tons of specially-treated cod. Payment 
is 34 percent, in cash, the balance to be paid in the 
course of the next two years. The Norwegian Gov¬ 
ernment guarantees the exporters 75 per cent, of 
this credit, and they, in turn, have formed a syndi¬ 
cate to guarantee the remainder. 
Satisfactory Settlement of Danish Lockout 
While on the whole tht settlement of the Danish 
lockout proved a victory for the employers, the 
workers’ unions gained several points which should 
make for better harmony between capital and 
labor in Denmark. The industrial situation in Den¬ 
mark has been greatly affected by German impor¬ 
tations on a very large scale, and after being out 
for several months the leaders of the unions felt 
that to maintain an uncompromising stand in the 
matter of wages or hours would only result in 
aggravating the state of unemployment.
