Henri Schwob, president of the
American Watch Importers' associ-
ation, estimates that watches worth
(10,000,000 have been smuggled Into
the country the past year.
"You'd think," Mr. Schwob said to
a New York reporter, "that the aver-
age man was a watch smuggler. Of
conrse he Isn't. The average man
smuggles watches—no, that doesn't
sound right. 1 Hke better old Abe

A successful trade-in Alto policy
requires consistent oo-operation on
the part of merchants and local

markets here unless both buyers and
sellers are awake to their civic re-
sponsibilities.
