We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

THE FOREIGN MARKET 339 our representatives constantly sailing and flying from capital to capital, showing our lines, taking our orders, watching our chances, pleading our cause. Hundreds of single figures, tracing the paths of fortune for the American film in every corner of the globe, they will come and go, these merchant adventurers; their ranks will be redoubled in their time and replenished after them. Through countless negotiations they will gradually build anew. Whatever of the past they must discount they will compensate for in the future. One must visualize that future not as a tomorrow but as To-morrow. Very likely the day will come, though many, many days intervene. Since it is business of which we speak, the best attitude would seem to be the businesslike. What I mean is that we must study conditions, check them constantly, plan in a large way, and execute our plans to the immediate maximum. Even granting that at last we may find ourselves losing some ground, there is of course no excuse for relinquishing it in advance. Then, too, it is unflagging pursuit that brings one to fresh opportunities. Should such arise we need have no fear that we shall not win our allotted share of them. Such has been our history from the beginning. There need be little apprehension that our destiny is to suffer a radical defeat — not in the immediate future, surely.
