THE OLDEST TRUST COMPANY IN BOSTON 
NEW COMMERCIAL LINK 
That the present situation promises 
well for a closer relation between 
manufacturers in the United States 
and the Russian Empire, is indicated 
today by George C. Taylor, Presi- 
dent of the American Express Co. in 
announcing the extension of the com- 
pany’s activities to that ‘country by 
the appointment of Edward F. Wales- 
Smith, for many years trafhe agent 
for the express company at Paris, 
France, as Commercial Agent at 
Petrograd. 
“Our present step in this important 
field,” said Mr. Taylor, “is taken af- 
ter full conference with the Honor- 
able C. J. Medzikhovsky, Commer- 
cial Attaché of the Imperial Russian 
Embassy in the United States. Our 
plans not only have his cordial ap- 
proval, but are distinctly in harmony 
with his earnest desire to stimulate 
the interchange of traffic between the 
United States and Russia by improv- 
ing the conditions under which such 
transactions are handled. 
“Already the undercurrents of 
trade point to new and well defined | 
connections between the commercial 
interests of Russia and our own 
country and in view of the cordial 
feelings which have always existed 
between theitwo govern.ents, the 
time seems expedient for progressive 
action on our part. 
“To further the mutual enterprises 
already existing and to reinforce the 
activities of ‘our representatives at 
Petrograd we sent A. C. Spen- 
cer of our Export Freight De- 
partment, New York. City, to Russia 
on May 22nd with instructions to 
visit Petrograd, Libau, Riga, Mos- 
cow, Archangel, and other Russian 
cities for the purposes of placing 
Russian importers in touch with 
American suppliers and to put in 
operation arrangements that will sim- 
plify the methods now employed ™ 
shipping between — the respective 
countries.”

Pedestrian (to beggar)—“I have 
little money to give you because | am 
a poet, and what is more, my poelms 
are not to be published until [ am 
dead. Here’s ten cents.” 
Beggar—Long life to ye, sir. 
Love is not the only thing that can 
level ranks. For instance, there 1s 
leaving a duke out of father-in-law’ 3 
will—New York World.
