Commercial MUs?am MERCHANT or manufacturer who A wishes to trade In u foiclgn mar ket must first know, In specific terms, the nature and vnlue of that market. Granted that Its trade will re pay the effort of securing It, ho must know exactly what tho market re-qulres, what it can offer In return, what are the business houses to deal with, and what are the conditions nn which huslness is customarily done. The Philadelphia Commercial Museum contains collections which supply these various requirements. They aro classltled under the following heads: It iw Pioducts (a) lUngriiphlc arrangement of col lections. (b) Monographic arrangement of col lections. Manufactured Article" (n) Arranged in lines of manufacture. "o: The raw product collections show nt a glance what Is produced by any given country, and what ft has to oftei by way of a return trade. If, for Instance, n merchant wishes to Inform himself on Mexican trade, ho will find In tho Mexi can depaitment of the Cotntneiclal Mu seum samples of the henequen m iguev, sisal and other commcrelil fibres, the hides, wools, cotton, gums, resins, woods, on ", tobtccos, etc., of Mexico. Other countries are represented In tho s imo wav. If tho merchant Is Interested In one particular line of raw products, such ns wools, ilbres, woods, nub irks, gums, I c shi". etc., he will find monogiaphlc collections of all these In wlilch tho pro duets of all the world aro brotiKht to (.ethcr for comparison. The collections of law products nro made practically usitul by sclintlllc and technical labora toiic, .where complete tests are made, with speelil reference to the lndtistri.il value of any given product. The use fulness of this wink Is well established In many countries, and merchants aro contlnuill bending samples of exporta ble prcducts, In orde r that the museum m iv report on thilr usefulness for tho American market. :o: Having shown the producing capacity of anv given eountiy, tho museum shows al"o tho consuming capacity by collce tlons of the Roods that mo most sale able 'lhe.sc! are acttnl samples of what Is fn the mukrt, selected with great are by experts of the mi'Seitm.
