Berlitz & Button-Downs. Some U.S. businessmen, of course, have been looking abroad for quite some time: Coca-Cola, Caterpillar Tractor, National Cash Register and Colgate-Palmolive get 40% or more of their sales abroad, and their trademarks are as recognizable abroad as at home.

...manhole covers. He complains endlessly about his lot, but he would not trade with anyone. He is likely to own a "waterworks" (indoor plumbing), a Deepfreeze, a piano, television and hi-fi sets, and a bank account for his children's education. He hooks a radio onto his tractor to keep up with the news as he plows, joins the P.T.A. and the Chamber of Commerce...
