=Tangier, FOREIGN OFFICES OF THE UNITED STATES DEPT. OF COMMERCE. (From an October, 1926, bulletin of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce.) American business men traveling in foreign countries should endeavor to get in touch with the foreign representatives of the Department of Commerce or the Department of State upon their arrival in a city where such representatives are stationed. These representatives are in a position to render definite assistance involving questions relating to trade and commerce, and welcome opportunities to place the facilities of their offices at the disposal of visiting American exporters. It is suggested that if American business men wish to communicate with these officials in regard to commercial information they first get in touch with this Bureau. If it develops that the particular information desired is not available, we shall be glad to take appropriate steps with a view to obtaining it, either through our own representatives or through American consular officers. In general, the transmission of thesc special Inquiries through the Washington office often saves much time, since the desired material is usually available here.
