1>EXVER. S.'pt , 4— With a popp
lation smaller than that of Philadel
phia, and an area slightly huger than
thatof Arizona, Ecuador offers alhi -
ing opportunities tor American capi*
tal an*l enterprise, is the opinion of
Charles W. Copelantl. American vice
consul at Guayaquil, who is now in
Hoover.
Partial toward Americans, genial
in disposition, practical though a bit
dihUo'y in their business .balings,
ant! slightly inclined towards*^ 'super
>tit»on. the Ecuadoreans, according to
Mr. Copeland.,possess a 'blend of
characteristics puzzling though noi
displeasing to an Anglo-Saxon mind.
“At first the average business man
is likelx to bo vexed bv the con*t^ni
•■attitiuk' of ‘mnmtfca’ flood a~
‘today*. He pays his .hills .scrupu
lously— blit one must l»e content to
wait until ‘manana.’*
Textiles and foodstuffs ot all kind
are the chief items imported by the
people of Ecuador. There* is. also a
heavy ‘depend for hardware.‘Toady
made clothing, machinery. drugs an 1
hoots an*i shoes.
The principal articles of export are
coo ty-Ptyiutna hats.' coffee, vegetate »
ivory.* c#f ton, hides and rubber.
“Ecuador is a land of paradoxes.*
observed the'vice consul. “ I he Panama
hat capital of the worM is not pana
ma. hut Jipijani or Monte Christi*

/‘Another paradox-is that many
deadly insects and ropitles are not

bite of the rUratntula has proved fatal.

Superstition, which is not confined
to the irnorant classes, is a dominant
trait of the Kcuudoreans, says Mr.
Copeland. •

To attempt tp describe RAI
NIER SPECIAL is as futile* as
trying to paint the Iily.\ You
must taste it to know how good
it really is—how it surpasses
supposedly similar drinks. Its
rare flavor, and thirst-quenching
qualities are obtained through
an exclusive, patented process.
No other drink can be like RAI
NIER SPECIAL. No other.
drink, for day after day use the
year' through,' can. be drank. .
with such genuine pleasure.
RAINIER SPECIAL is practi- ,

ill effects. It’s a soft drink that
