Excerpt from Commercial Russia

In the early part of 1916 the writer organized the Anglo-Russian Trade Commission for the purpose of investigating on the spot the possibilities of British manufacturers in Russia, the best methods to be employed for securing trade after the war, and as far as possible putting those represented into communication with reliable agents and responsible buyers.

Sufficient support having been given to the enterprise, he proceeded to Russia in April, and spent six months in that country. He soon found that in order to fully appreciate the conditions and possibilities of business, it was necessary to cover the country very thoroughly, and not to confine his investigations to the larger cities, such as Petrograd, Moscow and Odessa.
