M. A.

Ban-, general manager oE the Blue Bird Potato Chips, fits PS I "In August. 1928, Laura P. Scud-der opened a small potato chip. factory on Foothill boulevard, doiniT the work with the assistance of one girl. So rapidly did the business grow that.

Miss Scudder had to continually enlarge her staff of assistants. Within a year the concern had outgrown the old quarters, end was compelled to occupy a larger establishment at Sixty-eighth avenua and Bach street, thus doubling the capacity and floor space. In the fall of 1929 M. A. Barr became affiliated with Miss Scudder.

''assuming active management the company. At-this time Blue Bird Chips were being distributed In the Eastbay and San Francisco. 'Seven trucks made regular trips, covering set routes, supplying the demand. "During 1930, over $17,000 ftvorthi of automotive equipment was added, increasing the motor fleet to 19, and opening heretofore unserved districts. Our distribution today extends over Northern' California, from Redding to Bakers-field and from Eureka to Kin City.

"Our new plant will be a model establishment, and we hope to occupy It by the middle of July. We will have three times the capacity, and five times the floor space, with a total Investment of about "The dally consumption of po- tatoes Is nearly six tons, as compared with two sacks per week less than three years ago.

the use of natural gas fected a saving in the gas bills of consumers of about $2,209,000. In addition, customers used 27.6 per cent more heat units and obtained greater comfort. "We particularly recommend Fra-ser furnaces for home heating; for, in addition to efficiency, these furnaces are of long life due to the 'Evariordome principle which has been adopted In the design. This eliminates condensation rrom tne Interior of the airtight fuel compartments and thus prevents corrosion. "D-rDaii.

Htelndel states that 31 residences are contemplated for this district, with the first two units rapidly nearlngr completion. A feature of these homes, it Is pointed out, will be their modest price and excep tional design: the majority will contain two bathrooms, fireplaces, two-car garages, etc.

Stelndel recently completed the construction of a 14-room house in Ciaremont Pines, consisting; of five bedrooms, four baths, three balconies, and many other features, This home, states Btelndel, Is avail able for Inspection by the general publle for-a, limited time. Brazil Coffee In World Trade Is on Decline That the 'ratio of Brazilian coffee entering; into world trade has de cllned markedly In recent years Is revealed in a study of world coffee exports which has Just been Issued by the foodstuffs division1 of the commerce department. During the five-year period 1909- Jtna, tne study snows, Brazil accounted for 68.8 per cent; of world coffee exports while during the period 1034-19211 the Brazilian ratio averaged less than SI' per cent, This decline In Brazil's ratio has been accompanied by changes In the relative positions of other fee exporting countries. In the pre war period, for example, Venezuela ranked next to Brazil and ao many sizes and types, sucn as cerrvualisr5ri" already, been completed, arm three are under construction for private owners. It Is stated The Fred T.

Wood company maintains a drafttng department 1 the tract office, located at the corner of Foothill boulevard, and Bridge road, to assist thosr who desire to have their homes planned and-buflt according to. their own ideas. Fred T. Wood calls the attention of those Interested In modern homes to the 1931 home sale at Kstudlllo Estates. New homes of 0 rooms and breakfast room, base- 0mcnts, double garagex, are now being offered on specially reduced terms.

The tract may be reached by driving out Foothill boulevard to Estudillo avenue. U.S. Trade With Leather Firms Abroad Urged Pointing out that notwithstanding the fuct that Germany is the world's principal exporter of leather, she Is likewise a large Im-portpr this product. Julius Pchnltzer In a trade bulletin Just Issued hy the commerce department, urges American tanners to Intensify their sales efforts In that markot In 1929, Schnltzer's report shows, Germany purchased abroad worth of leather, the bulk of which orglnated in European countries. There is no apparent reason, he declares, why American tanners should not obtain a-much larger share of this German business than they do.

At the present time total American leather exports destined for Germany have a value In the vicinity of 11.750,000, the great bulk of these shipments being upper leathers, Jn the past years, Schnltzer de clares, there was a prejudice In Germany against pigment-finished leathers, but this has -disappeared and such leathers are now being used in. substantial amounts. This development, ho believes, should open up good opportunities for larger sales of American upperB In Germany. Prices and credit term for medium qualities of this class of leather compare favorably with those offered by domestic producers. The present enviable position of the German leather industry, the report reveals, Is peculiarly a post war development.

German producers have never hesitated to adopt the most advanced methods of tan ning and this, together with the owerlng of production costs, has placed the Industry on a secure foundation. The strength of the Industry Is Indicated by the-fact that In 1929 German tanners were able to Increase their foreign busi ness, although the export trade of their foreign competitors declined appreciably In that period. The report on Germany's leather Industry arid trade la issued he. the commerce department as Trade Bulletin No. 744.

Cooper, director. Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Department of Commerce. Speak Ing at the formal openinp of the bureau brancn orrice nt cnnries-ton, 8. C. Cooper pointed out that the majority of American firms en gaged In overseas trade are In tensifying rather than relaxing t.helr efforts abroad.

His organization, he declared. Is neglecting no opportunity to further our foreign buslnesn and It 1s believed that the new office at Charleston will play a useful part In stimulating the foreign demand for Carolina products 1 In examining export trade for the past year. Director Cooper de clared, due consideration should be given to the innrket price, reces sions of all products and that prac tically all exporting countries have felt the effects of world depres sion In the same or even L'reater degree than the United States. Using 1928 more normal year than 1 9291 as a basis of comparison. American export trade last year showed a decline in value of ap proximately 25 per cent.

A simi lar comparison of British exports In these two periods shows a loss of 22 per cent; Japan's export trade fell-21 per cent, while Canada and Australia registered export losses of 84 and 31 per cent, respectively. It Is to be noted, the speaker pointed out, that these countries are far more dependent on their export trade than la our own. American expnr trade for years hae represented about 10 per cent of our production and It is probable that when the final flc- ures are In this same proportion will prevail for pur foreign busi ness In 1 930. In concluding his remarks. Di rector Cooper outlined the work of his organization In the Interests of American business.

At the pres ent time, he pointed out. the Bu- au of Foreign and Domestic Commerce maintains 59 offices located in the principal world-trad- Ing centers and 34 branch offices in the United States. In addition Its foreign-trade promotion ac tivities the bureau has undertaken arious studies looking to the im provement of dnmeFtlc business.
