The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 3/Appointment of trade commisioner
APPOINTMENT OF TRADE COMMISIONER.
The United States Department of Commerce has taken a step which will be cordially welcomed by all who are interested in the development of close commercial relations between this country and the new Czechoslovak Republic. The announcement was made at the end of March that Vladimir A. Geringer had been appointed trade commissioner to Czechoslovakia with headquarters in Prague.
Mr. Geringer is a native-born American citizen, but his parents came here from Bohemia, and he himself speaks and writes Bohemian fluently. He is well known to Czechoslovaks in America as manager of the great Bohemian daily, the Svornost. An attorney by training and business man of many years’ experience, he is peculiarly fitted for the important position to which he was appointed as the result of an examination. His first duty will be to re-establish old business connections between American firms and Bohemian importers and exporters; he requests. all commercial houses which traded with territory now included in the Czechcoslovak Republic to get in touch with him at his office, Room 604 Federal Building, Chicago. Mr. Geringer plans to sail for his posts about April 20.
