fXCI.E SAMS SKl-I.S
GOODS BY RADIO
Tipping off American businessmen
hy radio as to foreign sales openings
in order to get the jump 011 Amer
ica's competitors for the world's mar
kets is the Commerce Department's
latest trade promoting stunt.
Inquiries for American goods com
ing into the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce from Consuls,
ommercial attaches and other gov
ernment representatives In foreign
•ountrips are now distributed to New
England manufacturers and mer
chants through the air by the Bu
reau's Boston Office in collaboration
with the WGI broadcasting station
at Medford.
The service was tried out one night
last week for the first time as an ex
periment. By first mail the next
morning several letters were receiv
ed from nearby firms. One of the
leading New England manufacturers
of artificial leather who happened to
be "listening in" that night learned
of two possible openings for his
sjoods; one in Mexico and the other
in Columbia. He was much pleased
commending tlse Department of Com
merce for taking advantage of "this
most valuable time saving device."
In the opinion of another New Eng
i laud merchant, the new "sell-lt-by
air" service should appeal particu
larly to the out-of-town manufac
turers and merchants who are not
in daily contact with the offices main
tained by ths Commerce Department
in Boston, New York. San Francis
co. Chicago. New Orleans and other
leading cities. "For example," says
this executive, "there are many man-j
ufacturers interested in radio who
wish to sell abroad but who are pre
vented from keeping in constant
touch by frequent visits and tele
phone calls with the trade openings
reported to the government agents.
As the radio stations reach many
outlying cities it would seem that
this service should be of especial val
ue to more distantly situated busi
nessmen within a wide radius."
Selling American goods in foreign'
markets through the help of ether |
waves can be readily extended to1
other parts of the United States, in
the opinion of Dr. Julius Klein, Dl-|
rector of the Bureau of Foreign and]
Domestic Commerce. Director Klein j
pointed out that his Bureau main
tains 34 district and co-operative of
fices in this country in addition to
the Boston branch. The sending out
of the information In each case Is
a problem for the local manager to
arrange with some nearby broad
casting station as all of them have
been authorized to undertake the
work, he said.
