COSTA RICA MERCHANT
TO MAKE MARKET FOR
PHILADELPHIA GOODS
Henri Frlck Tells Chamber of
Commerce It Will Be Worth
$1,000,000 by End of
Year
REPRESENTED EUROPE
A conspiracy to keep American exports
out of Central nnd South America has been
alleged by Henri Frlck, of San Jose, Costa
ntca, a visitor at the offices of the Chamber
of Commerce, who confessed that for 20
years, as the agent of the English, German,
Italian, Swiss and French exporters, ho
has crled on a campaign ngalnst the
merchants nnd manufacturers of this
country.
Now Frlck has "repented," and says lie
'In going to create a market for mors thnn
$1,000,000 worth of Phllndelphln-mndo
goods beforo the end of the yenr. Frlck
brought with him to the Chamber of
Commerce headquarters C. Iltchards, for
merly a resident of this country, but for
the past eight years a resident of Costa
nica and a partner of Henri Frlck & Co.
Company.
Richards, ncttng ns spokesman for Frlck,
said that the change of front on Frlck's
part was partly due to sentiment, but also
due to the fact that It wns now moro ad
vantageous to Frlck to sell Amerlcan-mndo
goods than the exports of nny other coun
try. Frlck ndmlts that he has been engaged
actively In framing legislation unfavorable
to American exporters In five countries of
Central America nnd in several of tho coun
tries on the east coast of South America,
In many cases, he says, tariff regulations
wero framed to freczo out American prod

ucts. Frlck, now that he has reformed,
wants to undo his activity In this line.
nichards said of Frlck!
"Born In Switzerland, ho wns Just ns loynt
to the Isolated European republic ns nny
on6 born In the cradle of American liberty
could bo to all that American Institutions
stand for. Instinctively, he gave preference
to the) products of his native land, Switzer
land, and once established In this trnde
wns an easy prey to tho machinations of ex
porters from nations adjoining tho country
of his birth, with tho result that he did
everything In his power to protect the sales
of goods he was representing nnd to defeat
competition from this country. This was
posslbto through a thorough Understanding
of tho methods of directing favorable legis
lation lnv tho little countries south of here
and of taking advantage of his ofllelat posi
tion as Swlsi Consul to cause to be manipu
lated tariff classifications that nllowed tho
special goodi sold through him to gain every
benefit that could be exerted through per
sonal friendship or by an nppllcatlon of
pressuro from the Oocrnment he repre
sented. "In the end European goods flooded the
market and tho wares from this country
knocked nt the door In vain. But after n
visit to Philadelphia and an examination
of tho prices of qualities of goods made
here, Mr. Frlck decided that tho time was
now ripe to turn away from Europe and
develop the sale of Amerlcan-mndo goodi
Wo have made arrangements to represent a
number of Philadelphia exporters, ns well
ns thoie exporting from New York, Boston,
Chicago, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Cleveland
nnd Detroit, nnd when we have completed
our arrangements nnd the seleotlon of
samples wo will go bnck to Central America
prepared to batter down all the obstacles
we havo raised against American goods,
and wo will push them to tho exclusion of
all others."
