Excerpt from Commercial Handbook of China, Vol. 1
The diligence and responsiveness of the consuls have enabled the Bureau to accomplish much toward that end. It need scarcely be stated that many difficulties are inevitably encountered in the effort to collect full and accurate statistical data regarding Chinese conditions and activities.
Volume 2 will contain chapters on the Chinese system of government; Chinese history and American relations; judicial procedure; trade-marks, patents, and copyrights; tariffs and internal taxes; currency, exchange, and banking; concessions and titles; weights and measures; guilds and chambers of commerce; the position of the comprador; Chinese products of interest to American manufacturers and importers; China's industrial and commercial progress and prospects; advertising in China; labor and living conditions; land values; Chinese customs and etiquette; and numerous other subjects of interest to American business men having transactions with the Far Eastern markets.
It is the earnest hope of the Bureau that this handbook, bringing together the most recent information concerning trade movements in the great Oriental Republic, will serve to create among the exporters of the United States a more effective interest in the Chinese field. It is felt that the book will afford them an ample opportunity to become familiar with the basic trade potentialities of that important and wonderfully interesting country.
