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 
Swedish Chamber of Commerce Directors 
Two valuable acquisitions to the Swedish Cham¬ 
ber of Commerce of the U. S. A. have been made 
by the election to the board of directors of F. 
Charles Schwedtman, Vice-President of the Na¬ 
tional City Bank, and Charles W. Ballard, the 
managing partner of D. S. Walton & Company. 
Mr. Ballard is also largely identified with insur¬ 
ance interests. Mr. Schwedtman was elected to 
take the place of the late C. E. Billquist. Both 
men stand high in the financial and commercial 
circles of this country, and their identification 
with the Swedish Chamber of Commerce can only 
prove of the greatest benefit to that steadily grow¬ 
ing organization. _ 
Scandinavia and the New Tariff 
It is as yet too early to more than guess as to 
what effect the new tariff will have on trade rela¬ 
tions between Scandinavia and the United States. 
The new schedule will materially touch the Danish 
dairy products, and it is a question to what 
extent the butter exportations will be handicapped. 
It is believed, however, that readjustments will fol¬ 
low which will reduce the obstacles of the increased 
duties to a minimum, since the exchange of Ameri¬ 
can and Scandinavian raw and manufactured 
products for the past few years has reached a 
point where there is an essential demand for what 
is produced in the respective countries. 
Denmark Increases Exports of Bacon and Pork 
Last year Denmark exported 70,000 tons of 
bacon and pork as against 40,000 tons in 1920. 
The greater part went to England, and only a 
small quantity was sold to Germany and Switzer¬ 
land. The number of pigs killed or exported alive 
last year was 1,403,032, against 825,474 in 1920. 
What the Cod Means to Norway 
It is estimated that the value of the codfish 
catch to Norway amounted to no less than 34,500,- 
000 kroner last year. Quantitatively considered, 
the catch was almost double that of 1920. The 
result as a whole is considered the best within 
the past five years. 
Denmark Increasing Trade with Cuba 
As a result of the new American tariff it is 
stated on good authority that Denmark will turn 
its attention to Cuba with respect to many agri¬ 
cultural products. Exports of Danish potatoes to 
the United States had assumed considerable pro¬ 
portions before the new duties took effect. As 
Cuba imports annually 180,000,000 pounds of pota¬ 
toes, Denmark expects to get a big share of this 
business. _ 
History of Norwegian Whaling Industry 
At the instance of the Norwegian Whaling As¬ 
sociation, the secretary, Sigurd Risting, has writ¬ 
ten a history of that industry, which shows to what 
an extent it differs to-day from what obtained 
years ago, and the various methods employed 
under varying conditions. There is an interesting 
account of the different kinds of whales, and the 
more than 200 illustrations of the work add value 
to the book, which reflects great credit on the 
author, who for more than 20 yeiars has gathered 
material for that purpose.
