of .the. great: continents—with, the

tinue that, service for such length 
of time as. to justify their transfer 
from the place of manufacture to 
distant communities not provided

products of the American workshop 
is) justified, by. experience is_ indi. 
cated by the continued and, in most

Take, sewing machines as an ex- 
ample. . A hundred. million dollars 
worth, of these machines have been 
exported. from the United States in 
the last quarter of a century, going 
to every part of the world. In the 
single year 1909, for: example, the 
countries, colonies. and islands to 
which, sewing machines. were sent 
included; Madagascar, Belgian Kon- 
go, the Carary,.Islands,. French 
Oceania, Asiatic Russia, Persia, 
Aden,. Hongkong, Dutch Hast In- 
dies, Paraguay, Peru, Dutch Guiana, 
Haiti,, Santo Domingo, Dutch West 
Indies, Egypt, Turkey in Asia and 
Eurepe, Siam, Korea, and Liberia. 
Typewriters are another example 
of complicated machines exported to 
distant, parts of the world with con- 
fidence that they.can there be suc- 
cessfully operated without return to 
the, manufacturer for, frequent. re- 
pair. The value of typewriters ex- 
ported from the United States since 
the fiscal year 1897, when they were 
first shown in the ‘statement of ex-

: “EXPORTS OF HIGH- GRADE AMERICAN MANUFACTURES. 
ie 5 
ports of the Bureau of Statisties of 
the Department of Commerce and 
Labor, is over 60 million dollars, 
and in 1909 they’ went to no less 
than 90 different countries, colonies 
and islands, including Greenland 
at the far north, New Zealand at 
the far south, Moroeceo in North 
Africa, Siam in the extreme Orient, 
Edueator and Bolivia in South 
America, the Azores and Maderia 
Islands in the Atlantic, Dutch East 
Indies, and French Oceania in the 
Pacific; Bulgaria, Servia and Rou- 
mania in Europe; and Persia the 
Straits Settlements, and Korea in 
Asia. 
Cash registers are a still more re- 
cently developed item in our list of 
exportatons, yet they were sent in 
1909 to more than 50 _ differen! 
countries, including nearly a score 
in. Europe, practically all parts of 
North and South America, to China, 
Japan, Asiatic Russia and Straits 
Settlements in Asia; to Australia, 
New Zealand. and Philippine Islands 
in the Pacific; and to various sec- 
tions of Africa. 
The automobile, which seems to 
require careful and expert attention 
even in the country in which manu- 
factured, goes in large numbers to 
all the grand divisions and many of 
the principal colonies and islands of 
the world. The 1909 figures show 
exports of automobiles to 17 differ- 
ent countries of Europe, _ to 
practically all of the countries 
and larger islands of North 
America. to every country of 
South America; to China, India, 
Straits Settlements, Dutch East In- 
dies; Hongkong, Japan, Asiatic Rus- 
sia, and Siam in Asia; and to Egypt, 
Portuguese Africa, Canary Islands, 
French Afriea and British East and 
South Africa in that grand division ; 
the valuation of this class of exports 
having rapidly increased until the 
figures of the calendar year 1910 
alone show a total of 11 million dol- 
lars. 
Musical instruments of American 
manufacture, ineludng — organs, 
pianos and pianolas, are evidently 
popular, the countries to which 
pianos and organs are sent being 
approximately 75, and even of 
pianolas. the exports are numbered 
by thousands, and the countries to 
which they go approximately half a 
hundred, including China, Japan, 
Siam, New Zealand, the West In- 
dian Islands, the countries of Cen- 
tral and South America, and a doz- 
en or more of the countries of Eu- 
rope. 
Thus one might go on indefinitely 
enumerating the products of the 
American workshop of high quality 
and. complex eharacter, such as elec- 
trical apphances, phonographs, met- 
al-working machinery; shoe machin- 
ery, wood-working machinery, den- 
tal goods, photographie ‘goods, mow- 
ers and reapers, and many other ar- 
ticles of this class, forming a very 
considerable percentage of the 800 
million dollars worth of manufactur- 
es exported from the United States 
last year. 
Boston & Maine Spending Mllions 
* for Improving Its Roads. 
In speaking on the many improve- 
ments which are being made in: the 
Boston & Maine road; and the large 
expenditures necessary to these 
ends, General Manager Bar says: 
The Lynn separation of grades 
work was estimated to cost $1,412,- 
000, and the two additional tracks 
now proposed will add) $1,500,000, 
making a total of $2,912,000 for this 
work alone, including a four-track 
bridge over the Saugus river. The 
addition of two main tracks through 
Salem as proposed is estimated to 
cost, with new station, $3,000,000. 
We will, during this year, finish the 
double track work between Thayer, 
on the Woreester, Nashua’ & Port- 
land division, and Nashua, 28 mil- 
es, estimated to eost $378,000, on the 
Gloucester branch to Gloucester 
$237,000 and on the Portland. div- 
ision between Rockingham Junction 
and Dover $400,000.
