Germany Offers Market
For Carolina Product*
1 Germany offers a growing markc
^ for products originating in Carolin;
territory, according to a report fron
, Assistant Commercial Attache Doug
i :nlrt 1.*.alSiV-* --Irs-' IbWm
C >ao minct, dvi hii, v. uiuiit iMtac.'
d district manncpr of the Carolinas of
* fice of the Uniited State Bureau oi
Foreign and Doinestoc Commerce
Charlotte.
In the territory served by the Car
k olina District office a considerabh
p number of firms are already partici
e pating in export business to Ger
Is many. In line with the plan of stimu
s lating American prosperity by th<
development of new markets, the Bu
f teau of Foreign and Domestic Com
mcrce is making an active effort t<
.. develop new lines ol' export,
d In thinking of foreign markets it u
e well to remember that, of all our for
i* t ign customers, Germany now take:
u- third place. Our sales there former!}
f consisted of the products of agrieul
ture and mining, such as cotton
(1 grain, non-ferrous metals and petro
e leum. These American products an
o still being sold, but sinee 1924 i
f growing trade has sprung up ii
e American manufactured articles.
The office of the Commercial At
a tacne in uernn, representing: th<
t United States Bure.au of Foreign ant
k Domestic Commerce, has been work
ir.g to build up this trade and in th<
last few years has worked with near
il ly all of the American firms whe
i- have been exporting to Germany. Nt
_ one knows exactly how many Amcr
L_ ican companies are engaged in thii
business, but from the records of th<
Commercial Attache's office it is certain
that over 1,500 have their owi
. representatives in Germany, said Mr
! Isaacs. Of this number about 75 Havt
11 established branch plants largely foi
0 assembling purposes and more thai
,t one hundred others have formec
German companies for the distribu
(i tion of their products. The rest art
II represented by local agents and trav
v cling factory representatives.
n It will come as *a surprise to man\
l; persons. Mr. Isaacs thinks, to le.arr
n the wide variety of the hianufac
y tured goods which Germany now buy:
)| from the United States. These in
f elude such items as machine tools
M automotivic products, toilet prepar
(j ations, hardware, office ei|Uipmenl
t. food products, and many other lines
|. American products are saleable ii
Germany on a quality basis and havt
f built up an enviable reputation foi
ii | themselves. This trade is growing ana
lSi CjmSTe is no reason wny munuinetur
tl j crs in the Charlotte district can no
u obtain a substantial share.
K This is paved by the fact tha
c? many local firms have already fount
' a satisfactory market there. The fol
u lowing partial list of goods made ii
k Carolina territory arc now beinj
jr marketed in Germany, according t<
el the records of the American Com
e mercial Attache in Berlin:
(1 Two firms arc listed as selling to
.. baeco, another is marketing Carolin:
pine, lumber. One firm sells chcstnu
wood powdci- extracts and anothei
[_ radio solder seal. The German mar
t. ket for American tobacco is a grow
v ing one. Only, the extremely high taif
iff rates now in force orevent an in
h crease in the consumption of Ameri
i-j can-made smoking tobacco and cig
(1 arcttcs which are very popular union*
e all those people in Germany who havi
_ tried them.
y All of the above products are ho
eling sold directly by Carolina firm:
having their own agents or brand
companies in Germany. In addition
many other products of this distric
"S are sold indirectly through firms ii
aiU.. A**
|/<uv?? v'iK- uiuicu oiaics, ioj
o example through export coirhmissim
t houses. This list also takes no ac
11 count of the great bulk of staph
e commodities which a r u handler
through brokers and similar channels
The Carolinas ofice of the Uniitec
States Bureau of Foreign and Do
mestic Commerce, Charlotte, is as
sisting Carolina manufacturers am
exporters in getting their propel
share of our export trade to Germany.
One way of doing this is hj
following up the trade opportunities
which appear currently in "Com
merce Reports."
