I IMPORT TRADE FOR 1919
II SHOWS BIG INCREASE
| Gab af $374,0Ml000 Ortr Sum Pcried of 1918?Ataic Arm it & Load
Imports for the mne peace months of 1919 ending September show
a gain of $374,000,000 over the same period of 1918, $1,287,000,000 over
'the first nine months of 1914 and $1,370,000,000 over the first nine
i months of 1913.
A study of the import table shows that, compared with the first
nine months of 1914, Asia has made the most strenuous stri( 3 in the

American market, or from $210,000,000 for the 1914 to $by7,uuo,uuu ior
< the 1919 period. In this grand division Japan appears to have scored the
'greatest gains, or from $80,000,000 to $272,000,000. The British East
Indies have advanced from $83,000,000 to $220,000,000; China from
j $29,000,000 to $106,000,000. North America has also recorded a remarkable
conquest of our market, the total increasing from $351,000,000 for
the first nine months of 1914 to $864,000,000 for 1919. In this division
Canada has scored the most heavily?-$121,000,000 to $339,000,000.
South America shows an increase of from $173,000,000 to $461,000,;
000, but a slight falling off compared with the 1918 period, from coun i
tries whence we purchase raw materials for manufactures, while from
Brazil, which is fast developing into a manufacturing country, there is an
j increase from $79,000,000 for the first nine months of 1918 to $161,000,
j 000 for the 1919 period.
We took from Oceania during the first nine months of 1914 $38,j
000,000 worth of goods, $20,000,000 worth from Australia and New
Zealand, and for the 1919 period $117,000,000 worth; $62,000,000 from
' Australia and New Zealand.
Prom Africa $16,000,000 worth in the 1914 period and $85,000,000 for
11919 period.
Naturally, imports from Europe for these two periods show a marked
{falling off because of industrial disruptions which have not been wholly
repaired. Our total of imports from Europe for the 1919 period was
* $621,000,000. For the first rune months of 1918 they came to $250,000,;000;
and for the first nine months of 1919 to $452,000,000. Imports
:from the United Kingdom increased from $119,000,000 for the 1918
period to $178,000,000 for the 1919 period; from France $48,000,000 to
: $73,000,000; from Italy $21,000,000 to $34,000,000; from Denmark,
the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden from $12,000,000 to $64,000,000;
Switzerland, $12,000,000 to $17,000,000; Spain, $.11,000,000 to $35,000,000;
Greece, from $15,000,000 to $22,000,000.
We imported about $66,000 worth of goods from Austria-Hungary
and Germany for the 1918 period, and almost $4,000,000 worth for the
1919 period; about $320,000 from Turkey in 1918 and $20,000,000 worth
. in 1919.

The Secret of a
Superlative Tire
.. ';.:-P
The whole question of a super-tire is a matter of principles.
For there is nothing exclusive in the industry. No patents,
no secret formulas prevent a conscientious maker froril building
the best.
.... #
But cost and competition modify ideals. The Brunswick
idea is to pay perfection's price and get it ; .
That has been the Brunswick policy since 1845. And it accounts
for the growing preference for Brunswick Tires.
Motorists expect the utmost from a tire bearing the name of
Brunswick ? and get it.
, You, too, will be convinced by your first Brunswick, that
here is an extraordinary tire, and that more money cannot buy
a better.
. '
Better tires of their type are impossible ? or better tube^
That we guarantee.
