An intelligence burcan may be a very fine thing, but without an efficient method of placing his wares before the Chinese public our engineering manufacturer cannot be said to be much better off now than he was before the establishment of the British Engineers Association, At present be relies, with a few exceptions, on the efforts of merchant firms to secure orders for him, and while this systemn probably works satisfactorily in large foreign trade centres, no merchant firm can be expected to maintain a high-salaried

Consequently it is very desirable for British manufacturers whose products are suitable for this market, nad who wish to participate in to institute and maintain a permanent exhibit of their machinery either in Chungking or Chengtu, nd also to provide a number of native assistants as well as a technical man to instruct pur chasers in the use of their appliances. This would not necessitate an extensive- stock, but sufficient to bring the name of the manufacturer and the type of his machine before prospective users
