MARKET FOR IMITATION LEATHER There is comparatively little of a market in Cuba for imitations of leather, principally because there is practically no manufactin-ing of articles in which it could be used. There is, however, considerable importation of ]iro- ducts in which imitation leather is used.

It is not probable that any market of importance could be developed because there is little in- centive for manufacturing articles from it. —Consul General James L. Rodgers, Habuna.
