330 SELLING LATIN AMERICA tracting fever, and secure his samples. You may imagine his surprise on reaching his cases to find every one empty—the cakes and biscuits and dainties had been eaten by the customs em ployes. Of course it was impossible to place the blame on any one, and his loud demands for redress resulted in the police escorting him to the railway station and threatening to ar rest him if he persisted in continuing his dem onstrations. His cable to the house, “Samples eaten by the customs authorities. Send duplicates,” confirmed the belief of his employers that he had gone suddenly insane and brought this brief reply:— “Return immediately.” As far as I know, this big company have made no further efforts to enter these really profita ble fields, which are still dominated by Eng lish cracker and biscuit concerns. I trust that the moral will be patent to my readers that it pays to keep close to your sample cases and never trust them with unreliable or unknown natives.
