Argentina

By N. Z. T.

We continue to receive encouraging reports from the Spanish-Catholic fields. The records which some of our workers are making in those fields are truly phenomenal. Writing from Buenos Aires, Brother G. F. Hartman, secretary of the South American Union, says:—

“In regard to raising the price on the books, I will say that we have raised the price on Spanish ‘Home and Health’ from five dollars to six dollars, and it goes just as well as before. In fact, it goes too fast for us. We have received only one shipment, containing about 150 books for each canvasser; and at the rate they are taking orders, each one will use up his quota in two weeks. I have a report before me from Brother Shultz, containing seventy-two orders for four days; one day, thirty-one orders. Brother Hillman takes from ten to twenty orders a day, but it has remained for Brother Hanson to break the record. One day he took thirty-two orders; the following day, in five hours, twenty-one; and one other day the same week, forty-three. The canvassers are also having very good success in delivering.”

Brother Hanson’s totals for the week were: 28 hours; 122 orders; value, 762 Argentina pesos, or 322 American dollars. N. Z. T.
