C. Rogers & Bros. Arrange to Increase Their South American Trade
MerIden, Conn., Jan. 31.—It is announced that C. Rogers & Bros., in connection with the Wilcox & White Organ Co. and Manning, Bowman & Co., have recently concluded arrangements with T. Elliott Rourke & Co., importers, of Santiago, Chili, to introduce their products throughout that country Mr. Rourke has been in this city, this week, completing arrangements. He was a member of the commission appointed by President Riesco, of Chili, to represent that country at the Pan-American Exposition. Mr. Rourke has lived in Chili for over 20 years.
“The outlook for United States trade in Chili, and all South America, is very bright, indeed,” said Mr. Rourke. “We have a stable government, the best conducted in the country. English, German and French, in the order named, hold the greater part of the South American trade. England has about 45 per cent. of the imports into Chili, while the United States has only 8 per cent. That is because the European houses have through various ways become established, but with proper attention there is absolutely no reason why goods made in this country cannot find a ready market there."
