The study highlights potential savings from cheaper, safer framing and codes.

Our Oriental Trade Grows Says Austin on Commerce
P Austin, chief of the Bureau of Statistics, reports to the Economic Club that U S trade with the Orient has grown modestly with imports from China and Japan rising since 1902. He notes 1908 saw large imports of cotton goods, while Japan and China bought more U S goods in earlier years. Despite overall gains, U S share remains lower than potential as Oriental demand favors local production and styles.
