SENDING SISAL TO THE MARKETS OF THE WORLD ‘The coarser cordage, saddle bags, hammocks, hats and other products with a fibrous base are largely made from sisal, which is shown here baled and ready for shipment. Leslie’s War Service to Business Men Commercial opportunities for American business men abroad— especially in South America—were never better than they are today. All that is needed is the advice of an expert to bring supply and demand together. This expert advice is yours for the asking. Dr. W. E. Aughinbaugh, Professor of Foreign Trade at New York University and Editor of the Export and Promotion Department of Leslie’s, has helped thousands of American merchants to sell their goods abroad. As a reader of Leslie’s his department is at your service, gratis. Dr. Aughinbaugh has sold goods in nearly every civilized country in the world. He is in close touch with the foreign market, and his famil- iarity with conditions abroad based on personal experience makes it possible for him to answer or to find the answer to any problem that may confront the exporter. Have you a product that you think might “go” in South America? Do you know how to reach the representatives from foreign houses anxious for American goods—perhaps the very thing that you manufacture? If you have an export problem you can’t solve, submit it to the Export Department and it will receive Dr. Aughinbaugh’s personal attention. Leslie’s Export Department W. E.

Between Ourselves—Officer (who has lost touch with the troops on field training) —I say, Sergeant, where have all the blither- ing fools of the company gone to?
