EL PASO
I American Carelessness
I Hinders Mexican Trade
f)mmmmmmmmmmmmm By 45. A.
MEXieO flTV. Mx . Oct. it-
Americans manufacturers and
jobbers alike have failed to
grasp the opportunity that lies before
them in Mexico largely because they
have not tried to study conditions
here and. too. because they are going
after business without making any
special effort to please their patrons.
Whereas the French. German and
English firms attempt to meet the
wants and demands of their custom-
ers the Americans lose sight of the
necessity it seems to please them.
The El Paae business men hear
complaints from merchants in Mexico
on every hand about the difficulties
they have in dealing with American
firms. The complaint la not directed
sgalnst the El Pasoans so much as
against American jobbers and manu-
facturers in the interior. El Paso
dealers are generally better ac-
quainted with Mexican wants and
conditions and they meet these more
satisfactorily.
Jio Atteeapt to Please.
t.. t.ir. th manufacturers of
toilet goods and drug sundries in the
United States you pass a Mexican
drug store window and you find the
same advertising of American prepa
rations that you find in an ci i-aao
drag store window. The wrappers on
tne peonages oomeo or jw. mj
in English and the placards adver-tising-them
are all in English. Where
the preparations are of German
French or English manufacture you
will find the labels in Spanish and the
placards In Spanlah or French. As all
Latins can read or understand French
the French manufacturer Is at an
advantage and it is not necessary for
him to furnish Latin labels and pla-
cards bat he often does it anyhow.
The American manufacturer so far
as I can see. makes no effort to fur-
nish his labels or placards In the
Spanlah language. I have seen one
toilet cream of a well known Ameri-
can make that bore Spanish labels
and that is all.
Amerieaa SabaHtsitieek
This is not the only complaint of
the Mexico merchant however. They
say the American jobber Is prone to
substitute without getting permission.
aAmarhinc the RnroMan
eater win
not do. (Jise Torreon oeaier in ury
seeds and hats told Louis Chernls
and me that a St. Louts salesman re-
cently sold him a bill of sateens and
promised to send colors to green
blue yellow and red all popular
colors and about the only saleable
colors In Mexico.
"When the stuff arrived some of
the bolts contained the colors he had
promised .but there was an assort-
ment of all kinds of colors. A letter
accompanied the shipment stating
that it was impossible to fill the en-
tire order In the colors desired and
substitution was being made. The
dealer says he can never sell some
of the colors sent him without sacri-
ficing the stuff and losing money.
"Dealers in Europe never substitute
without writing us for permission te
do so" this merchant said. "1 am not
going to buy any more from that St.
Louis bouse and 1 probably will not
buy from Americans at alL I can get
my staff as cheaply In Europe
cheaper in a little while when their
factories get to going again and I
am sore they will send what I order. '
Psiktas; Carelessly Deae.
There is also complaint in Mexico
that American Jobers dc not pack
tueir goods as well as the European
countries. The Americans are ac-
customed to comparatively careful
handling by railroads In the United
States and they are also accustomed
to getting paid by the railroads for
damage to shipments en route. The
Mexican roads give no such care to
shipments and it is seldom that a
Mexican road pays damages on goods
injured In transport- The result is
that packing should be heavier for
Mexico. Many shipments arrlvng in
Mexico from the United States are so
badly daamged In transit that there
is heavy loss to the dealers.
The Americans also fall to study
the Mexican customs regulations and
often a big delay ia experienced at
the frontier In getting shipments from
the. United States Into Mexico. The
manifests customs invoices etc are
not properly executed and endless de-
lay is entailed at the border often
extra expense to secure the service
of an experienced customs broker to
get the goods through.
Eareeeaa Dealers Considerate.
French and European merchants
have men who are versed in the cus-
toms Jaws of all countries and Mex-
ico merchants say that when a ship-
men: of goods arrives from Europe.
it Mmea thronafh without trouble be
cause the manifests are all properly
prepared and everything is done by
tne shipper tnat win expeaiie tne eu
trv of the roods Into Mexico.
El Pasoans have an advantage over
other American firms In supplying
Mexico in that they are posted on all
these things end more nearly meet
the Mexican requirements than any
other shippers outside of Europe.
Had Xe Cfeeiee. -Louis
Chernls wants It distinctly
understood that If he and his co-
religionists are committing any sort
of a sin in eating. It Is the fault of
the dining car steward and not of
himself. The other evening the din-
ing car offered a choice of boiled
ham or roast pork for dinner. There
was no other meat on the menu.
The cargadores at the various de-
pots interest the El Pasoaas very
much. They carry all the basgage
to and from the stations on thelr
backs. They are licensed by the
municipalities and wear big brass
numbers. One of them will slip a
rope under the end of a big trunk
hoist it onto his hack and trot oft
to a hotel with It as if It were a
dosen eggs and he never puts It down
for a rest until he gets to his des-
tination regardless of how heavy
it Is.
Ten sea Is Medera.
Torreon is the moat modern city
we have vfhlted. It has been built
since the railroad was built about
23 years ago. and looks more like
an American town than anything we
have seen. The streets are wide aad
the buildings are mostly all brick or
stone. The majority of the business
is said to be tn the hands of Ger-
mans and Swiss.
Scores of Mexican boys flock
around our diner at every stop and
beg for pennies or food.
The El Pasoans have learned now
to quit asking "Mexican or Ameri-
can" when prices are quoted and
always pay now tn Mexican money
The store windows everywhere are
full of American made goods al-
though south of Torreon and at Tor-
reon. all the cotton piece goods are
made tn Mexico. The La Ouna dis-
trict about Torreon produeea tre-
mendous crops of cotton and there are
many cotton goods factories located
at Torreon and south.

of the principal streets is paved with
cobblestones and men sweep them by
hand hey get down with their fin
gers and dig tne curt oat xrom oe-

The Zacatecas streets are very hilly
and when the street ears are too
heavily loaded for the passengers
they get out and help push the cars
up to the top. When the cars start
down hill the mules have to run to
keep ont of the way of the cars. The
fare is ten cents. Mexican money.

accompanies htm to collect them. It

PRICES ON DAIRY GOODS
WILL CONTINUE TO DROP
Chicago. Ill Oct. 18. Prices on hat-
ter eggs and poultry will continue to
decline during the next month Tranla
G. Heilmam chairman of the general
executive committee of the National
Fonltry Butter and Egg association
told the organisation at Its conven
tion Saturday.
JWIth cold dry
weather which would stimulate lay-
I ing. eggs will take a decided price
Get onto the facts and you'll get off the fence.
Right from the start Spurs let you know what you're smok
ing. Plain day on the back of the package it says: "Ia Spa
Cigarettes the good tobaccos from the Orient arc properly mixed
with Burley and other home-grown tobaccos."
In your language that means "good old-dme tobacco taatc"
Haven't you just about been hankering for it?
Those good tobaccos are rolled in satiny imported paper and
crimped not pasted. That's something to know too. Ia smoker's
talk crimping means "easier drawing slower burning better
taste." Examine a Spur and Me how it's made.
And as the finishing touch Spur's fragrance and freshocas are
signed sealed and delivered in a three-fold rich brown anfljsflvcr
package.
Hop off the fence and land on Spurs.
