Excerpt from Peeps at Industries: Cocoa

It is astonishing how ignorant is the world as a whole of the great industries which maintain our oft-boasted civilization, and it is ignorance of this character which this series of books aims to dispel.

Produced on the same lines as the "Peeps at Many Lands" series, which has met with such remarkable success, these books will bring the reader into a complete understanding of all tho great industries of tho British Empire and the world at largo. Technicalities being avoided, there are no impedimenta in the way of easy assimilation of the story and the romance of great manufactures. The reader is taken into the atmosphere and confronted with the stern realities of each industry, and when he has laid down the book he will find he has another window in his house to lot in the sunshine of knowledge.

Each of the three previous volumes, concerned respectively with tea, sugar, and rubber, has been promoted to a second edition. Such a reception has encouraged tho belief that there is a wide sphere of usefulness, and power of pleasure-giving, for a series of Peeps at Industries written from first-hand knowledge. Like its predecessors, this peep at cocoa is a collection of experience, observation, information, and pictures harvested "on the spot."
