First of All— 
/Acy 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 Iron Industry in 1921 
The Swedish iron and steel industry found 1921 
an unsatisfactory year. Exports of iron and steel 
declined to 147,000 tons, as compared with 250,- 
255 tons in 1920, and 316,045 tons in 1913. On 
January 1 , 1922, only 22 of the 133 furnaces, 37 
of the 201 Lancashire hearths and 15 of the 80 
Martin furnaces were in operation. The produc¬ 
tion of pig iron in 1921 amounted to 308,600 tons 
against 470,550 tons in 1920. 
Danish Enterprise at Brazil Exposition 
An interesting display at the Rio de Janeiro 
Exposition is a Danish dairy exhibit in which a 
number of Danish manufacturers participated. 
The refrigerating plant was furnished by the Atlas 
Engineering Company, Ltd., of Copenhagen; the 
cream separators by Titan, Ltd., also of Copen¬ 
hagen; the dairy machinery by Paasch, Larsen & 
Petersen, Ltd., Horsens, and the motor by Thomas 
B. Thridge, Odense. 
Norway Year-Book in Prospect 
Arrangements are under way for the publica¬ 
tion of a Norway Year-Book which is to furnish 
much valuable information about trade, finance, 
and shipping. The chief editor is to be S. C. Ham¬ 
mer, while the Government press bureau, attaches 
and consular representatives abroad will co¬ 
operate in gathering materials. Sv. Mortensen 
publishing firm will have charge of the printing, 
and it is contemplated to issue a Year-Book bi- 
annually. 
Danish Child Labor Law Effective 
The Danish Minister of the Interior has written 
the International Labor Office that the provisions 
of the new act of July 10, 1922, are intended to 
meet the requirements of the draft conventions 
adopted by the First International Labor Confer¬ 
ence, fixing the minimum age for the admission of 
children to industrial employment and conditions 
of the night work for the young persons employed 
in industry. It is believed that this adherence to 
the International Labor provisions will in the long 
run act beneficially on Danish industrial activity. 
Changes in Norwegian Consular Service 
Among recent changes in the Norwegian con¬ 
sular service are the appointment of Erik Arentz 
to be consul-general at Melburne, while the consul- 
general at this place, Einar Olsen Maseng, has been 
appointed to the similar office at Valparaiso, Chile. 
Ole Skybak is the new consul-general at Rotter¬ 
dam, while Christen Smith has been appointed 
consul at the Berlin legation. 
Danish Sugar Refineries' Golden Jubilee 
How the Danish sugar industry has developed 
during the past fifty years is set forth in an in¬ 
teresting publication issued in honor of the round¬ 
ing out of a half century of this enterprise, April 
20, 1922. The description of this development 
from a small beginning is accompanied by illustra¬ 
tions graphically showing the gradual stages by 
which the Danish Sugar Factories have taken their 
places in the forefront of industries of this kind 
in northern Europe.
