NOT SUFFICIENT POSTAGE
ON MAIL TO ARGENTINA
Buenos Aires. Sept. 27. Failure ot
the majority ot North American man
ufacturing and exporting concerns to
place sufficient postage on the letters
they send to Argentina is one of the
details which is tending to cause an
unfavorable opinion here of Ameri
can business methods, saya the 1ml
letin of tl United States Chambef
of Commerce In Argentina. -
The bulletin Is convinced that at
least 25 percent ot the letters sent
here from the United States bear a
two-cent stamp instead of he five-
cents postage required. This means
that the recipients not only ar
obliged to pay the additional three
cents but a fine Imposed by the Ar
gentine post office regulations equiva
lent to the deficiency, or a total of six
cents. Many circulars and selling let
ters come with a two-cent stamp and
"it may be readily understood how an.
noylng it la to Argentine firms to hav9
their correspondence treated In such
a careless manner."
The bulletin also comments upon
"the lack of even rudimentary knowl
edge ot geograhpy" shown by " some
American concerns la addressing let
ters. It cites the insUnce of an Im
portant letter addressed by the Cham
ber of Commerce of one of the larg
est American cHles'to the Stock" Ex
change In ' "Buenos Aal re s Brazil.
Tbe ignorance displayed ot the loca
tion, of a' city of neatly 2.000,000 pop
