Turning from this unpleasant aspect of the business life, which is, after all, only one phase of it, and must not be allowed to darken completely our view of the commercial Argentine, there are several other aspects that must engage our attention, and perhaps to more profit. British readers especially will rejoice to know that their own country and its manufacturers oc- cupy a pre-eminent position in the affections of the Ar- gentine people. While on every hand there is evi- dence of great acti...vity on the part of the Germans, who have laid themselves out, and with fair measure of success, to secure a large slice of the Argentine im- port trade, there is not only in the Argentine but throughout all South America a widespread distrust oJ the German. He is noted for commercial methods that are no more praiseworthy than many that prevail locally. His propensity for showing samples that are much superior to the goods supplied is notorious, and such progress as he has made may be regarded as largely the result of a readiness to flatter the native buyer by speaking the language of the country and dealing with him in terms of local usage.
