IMPORTSFROM
JAPAN DO NOT
AFFECT U. S.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—Despite
the steady growth of imports from
Japan since the signing of the armis
stice, officials of the Department of
Commerce today declared that Amer
ican markets have been but little af
fected by the influx of oriental goods.
Imports from Japan have increased,
mainly in value rather than in quan
tity, it is said.
During the 11 months ending with
November, 1919, the latest available
figures, America imported goods val
ued at $367,130,187 from Japan, com
pared with $264,269,502 in 1918 and
$238,550,617 in 1917.
One reason for the increase in im
ports is the shipping facilities, now
available, officials declare, though
Japan’s expansion in foreign trade is
regarded as general. Japanese goods
which are sent to this country, how
ever, are of the cheaper grades, it
is said, and do not compete with the
high* class American manufactures.
Low grade paper and cotton goods,
tea, vegetable oils, silk and bamboo
manufactures are said to form the
bulk of the Japanese imports.. The
only classes of manufacture in which
Japan and the United States are on
a competitive footing are toys and a
few novelties in which the two coun
tries now lead the world, officials
say.
The constant increase in Japan’s ex
port trade not only with the United
States but with the world indicates
a heavy demand will be made in the
4
far East fo*r American machinery and
mechanical devices, experts declare.
Japan, it is said, can manufacture
cheaply low grade goods but must im
port machinery with which to do it.
Trade experts seem to concede that
Japan will control the trade of the far
East in the cheaper lines but they
believe the demand for American
manufacturing machinery and office
appliances will keep step with the
growth of Japanese trade.
| No invasion of the American mar
kets by Japanese manufacturers is
expected by trade experts of. the de
partment of commerce. At present
Japan has the advantage over Europ
ean exporters, they say, because of the
unsettled conditions brought on by the
war. But when the industries of
Europe have readjusted themselves a
return of the normal flow of imports
into the United States is looked for.
For the next few years Japan’s pro
gress as a manufacturing nation will
be almost wholly along the lines of
her peculiar domestic products and
low grade manufactures, it is asserted.

WE ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN * RAW AND MANUFACTURED
FURS IN THE NORTHWEST, and all we ask of you, Mr. Shipper, is to givs
us the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that we pay more
for furs and make quicker returns than you can get anywhere in the country.
We have been in business in Alaska for 36 years and have built up a very
extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all parts of the United States,
Canada, and in a great many European cities.
By shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaska industry but you are
helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely, as we buy direct from the trapper and
trader and sell direct to the consumer; thus we are able to pay you a better
price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS THE SAME DAY
SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire cur
bid, and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense and we will
ship to any place you designate.
All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us
a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
