He is mostly in the retail trade, while the wholesale busi ness is controlled by foreigners. Yet he hates the foreigners, and is extremely chauvinistic. Trade with him is easy and perfectly safe, if you carefully take hin pledges. He never breaks his word.. But if he is not pledged, he will attempt to get the business conducted by foreigners into his own hands,
