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 
Canada Going After Scandinavian Trade 
The Canadian Government is making special 
efforts to secure business with the Scandinavian 
countries, as indicated by the many articles ap¬ 
pearing in the monthly publication of the Depart¬ 
ment of Trade and Commerce, Ottawa. These 
articles deal with both imports into Canada and 
exports to Scandinavia, and cover the entire field 
of merchandise, manufactured articles and raw 
products. In the eighteenth of the series appear¬ 
ing in the issue of June 17, emphasis was placed 
on the textile situation. Each country is treated 
separately and the greatest attention is paid to 
details with respect to materials required for the 
manufacture of everv kind of textile.

Danish Ingenuity Busy with Radio Perfecting 
An instance of the present progress in radio 
manufacture is seen in what Hans Ploug, of 
Copenhagen, Denmark, and at present in this 
country, has accomplished with interior Antennae 
perfecting. Mr. Ploug, who has studied radiog¬ 
raphy in all its details, has the assurance of one 
of the leading engineers of the Western Electric 
Company that his interior antennae is superior to 
any of its kind now on the market. With patent 
applied for, work on this antennae on a large scale 
is contemplated, and the Scandinavian countries 
are expected to be the particular foreign field for 
the sale of this instrument. Mr. Ploug is also 
busy with perfecting a receiving set on entirely 
new and novel lines to be sold at a very low price. 
Swedish Locomotives for Russia 
To facilitate transportation to Russia of 1,000 
locomotives ordered by the Soviet Government 
from the Gunnar Anderson Syndicate, a canal 
is being dug from deep water to the Trollhattan 
Locks, close to the company’s plant. It is ex¬ 
pected that 200 of these locomotives will be com¬ 
pleted during the present year. The cost of 
digging the canal will be around 700 000 kronor. 
When finished, ships of 3,000 tons will be able to 
get as far as the Trollhattan Locks. Regarding 
reports that Russians are taking the places of 
Swedish employees at the factory, this is denied 
by the management. A few Russian engineers, 
however, are on the premises looking after the 
work. 
Norway’s Trade Balance in 1921 
According to statistical information from Nor¬ 
way covering 1921, the foreign trade amounted 
to 1,462,700,000 kroner in imports and to 576,- 
400,000 kroner for exports. While the imports 
exceeded exports to the amount of 886,300,000 
kroner the value was much less than in the year 
before when importations reached 3,033,200,000 
kroner. 
Denmark to Have Fire Apparatus Exhibit 
American manufacturers of fire extinguishing 
apparatus should be interested in the report from 
Copenhagen that there is to be held in that city 
in September an exhibition of the latest fire ap¬ 
paratus. Delegations from Sweden, Norway, and 
Finland are expected to visit the Danish capital 
during the exhibition. Foreign and domestic fire
