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 
woven 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 
Norwegian Fishery Situation Promising 
Now that the Norwegian spring herring fishery 
has come to an end, the result appears much more 
satisfactory than last year. The value of the catch 
amounted to 5,800,000 kroner as against 2,500,Q00 
kroner last year. The contract governing the sale 
of herring and other fish to Russia has been signed 
and the necessary syndicates organized. 
With regard to the sardine industry, prospects 
are bright for export business. The Norwegian 
Sardine Packers, Inc., have established American 
headquarters at 132 Front Street, New York City. 
Robert Roehrig is the resident manager. Special 
efforts will be made to acquaint the American 
public more generally with an article which has 
found high favor wherever introduced in the 
United States. 
Denmark’s Foreign Trade in Recent Months 
There has been a considerable decrease in the 
foreign trade of Denmark in recent months, due 
to a number of causes. This decrease is especially 
noticeable with regard to imports. In January of 
this year imports amounted to 102,000,000 kroner 
as against 168,000,000 kroner during the same 
month last year. The figure for February was 
159,000,000 kroner in 1921, as against 70,000,000 
kroner in the present year. With regard to ex¬ 
ports, they were valued at 73,000,000 kroner in 
February, as compared to 99,000,000 kroner in the 
same month last year. 
Swedish Wood Pulp Situation 
Operating at 67 per cent capacity, the Swedish 
wood pulp mills are confronted with a European 
market that is still slack. As for the American 
market, conditions are more favorable. The long 
drawn out wage conflict has at last come to an 
end with a settlement affecting 10,600 workers on 
a basis of 47 per cent reduction. The timber out¬ 
look is considerably improved and prices more 
favorable than for some time past. Sales in the 
first three months of this year are estimated at 
200,000 standards, which is considerable more than 
the amount for the corresponding months last 
year. 
Moscow to Have German Industry Exhibition 
Norwegian publications are much interested in 
the fact that a German Industrial Exhibition is 
to take place in Moscow the coming summer, per¬ 
mission having been obtained through the Superior 
Economic Commission of that city. The displays 
are to be particularly complete with regard to 
farming implements, textile machines, and elec¬ 
trical appliances. The exhibition is looked upon 
as giving clear evidence of the industrial and com¬ 
mercial rapprochement between Russia and Ger¬ 
many as a result of the pact signed at Genoa. 
Protest British Amesrica Nickel Refinancing 
A group of Canadian stockholders in the British 
America Nickel Corporation has entered a protest 
against the refinancing plan of the company 
brought about some time ago. The group is rep¬ 
resented by a Mr. O’Brien who owns £625,000 
worth of shares in the company, and who tried 
unsuccessfully to halt the refinancing. It is stated, 
however, that Mr. O’Brien is to be reimbursed.
