do long credits have to be extend
ed2'
That's another mistake They pay
cash. They don't expect credit. The
English and French and German houses
used to extend long credits to hold the
trade, but the Americans have better
goods at cheaper prices and the Next
cans viii rather pay CASH
But there's only a part of the pOpu-
latiOn that consumes, the rest being pen
niless-
That's another mistake. I never saw
any one in Mexico without money The
very beggars will give you change.
Mexico is prosperous and the people are
improving. The stories of laborers be-
ing paid 50 cents a day are untrue The
IabOrers get 81 day, and a dollar goes
as far there as here
Countries aren't gotten up to buy but
to sell" said this Kansan of great
ting rich making shoes and selling them
in the United States There are 80. 600
MeXicans engaged in making shoes.
Making shoes to sell in the United
States is great industry in Mexico"
The Topeka members of the company
who are in the city were surprised when
told that Huhts had been interviewed.
They are not ready to have ANYTHING
printed about the enterprise. They ad-
init, however, that the project is assum-
ing large proportions and they are wait
ing for the preliminary work to be done
before anything is said.
Ex-C Congressman Ryan and Mr.. Hulit
are now in Chicago and NJ. d. Hender-
son is in St. Louis They are securing
subscribers and they also worked Kan
sas City. The plan of the company is
50 stupendOus that the papers in Kan
sas City said that even Mr.. Hulit did
not recognize the magnitude of the IN
dertaking.
The subscribers who are secured will
be represented by agents in the princi-
pal cities of Mexico. These agents will
have samples OF the goods manufac-
tured by the subscrib erS and will make
the sales and do the collecting.
The association also proposes to pro-
vide market reports and suggest what
goods should be furnished and keep a
directory giving the financial rating of
Mexican merchants. They win also keep
a friendly eye upon the railroads and
attempt to influence rates and import
duties. They propose to encourage CO.
operation between the United States
and Mexico and knock out France Eng
land and Germany, who now control the
bulk of the trade.
A part of the project is the esta bIish-
ment of an American bank in Mexico.
1t is proposed to establish the institu-
ton in the City of Mexico to take care
of the American business which viii be
fostered by that organization.
The company is meeting with encOur-
agement wherever they go, and they
are satisfied that the project viii prove
a success. 1t is an organization of To-
peka people Who propose to take the
commercial business of Mexico by
storm
F. o. PopenOe who is one of the mem
bers of the company, now in the city,
when seen by a Journal reporter He
said that he preferred TO wait until Mr.
Ryan returns from Chicago before any
statement is made for the public.

Mr. Hulit was interviewed in Kansas

The reason Kansas City does not

the Kansas City houses don't try to get
the trade said Mr. Hulit For in
stance, there is a man in Topeka who
makes tomato catsup. This man ships
his catsup to Germany. where it IS re
shipped to Mexico. I said to him: Why
don't you sell it direct?' and he sent
some sample cans to a house in Mexico
I told him Of The house wrote to the
Topeka man and asked for prices on
three car loads of catsup. Two or three
weeks after that he said to me: Say
what on earth do you suppose those
fools wanted2 They wanted a price or
three car loads Of catsup. Now what
on earth can they do with three car
loads of catsup?
Did you give them a figure?'
No said he; what's the use2'
This man made me mad. L told him
if a house which carries three millions
of goods wants three car loads of cat
sup, it was a pretty safe order, but that
man never gave them a price.
This is an extreme case continued
Mr.. Hulit but it shows how foolishly
Mexican trade is thrown away"
ITO sell American goods. Mr.. Hulit
isn't it necessary to make them suitable
for Mexican cOnsumption2'
Not a bit of it. They want just the

more we send. the more they viii buy"
