great advantage and make his sales

larger. It would seem that the field

populated by people speaking the

French language is of sufficient Im

of such a catalogue on the part of

manufacturers, especially eince the

opening up to-development of Haiti

a country of 1,600,000 population.

There is reported to be considerable

wealth in Haiti, which its owners will

now employ in bringing into cultiva

tion and use wide areas of rich land.

Sugar cane is the natural crop to

plant and the one from which the

largest returns may be had at the

smallest expense. T j

The French possessions of Guade

lope," its smaller dependent islands,

and the island of Martinique are all

populated by folk who,ln the main,

know only the French tongue. There

are thousands of "acres of cane land;

available in these colonies and thou-!

sands of acres already in cultivation.!

There is also much wealth, and the

owners of the land are able to make

use of it and to purchase the neces

connections and -liberal treatment by

the home government make the manu

facture of cane products Jri the French

West Indies a very attractive propo

sition, indeed. Small estates are the

rule in this territory, and equipment

of all sorts is in demand.

It would seem that itls well worth

the cost of Issuing a "catalogue in the

French language to have it appeal es

pecially to the French trade. As the

whole list of cane equipment is not

very extensive, it is no great under

taking for' a manufacturer or dealer
