PHOENIX MISSIONARY
 IN SOUTHERN FIELDS
A. RedewIl, Who Says Phoenix Busi- ness Men Are Asleep to the Oppor- tunities.

A. Redewill has returned from a trip of two and a half months in Old Mex
 ico. during wnIcn time he has sold pianos to every resident of Sonora and Sinaloa. That is what one would gather from the enthusiasm of Mir. Redewill when he is discussing the commercial possibilities of that section. Pinned down to facts he said he only sold thirty-siX pianos during the trip. but even that he considers a good piece of business. He was accompanied by his son. Victor. who is also a skilled piano tuner. and who left him at the line for a trip to Cananea.
 MT Redewill is properly enthused over Mexico for two reasons. One is that he has a good business there and the other is that he is a loyal Phoe- nician and believes a lot more of the Phoenix business men could make just as much money in Mexico as he does if they would only try. He believes
 Phoenix is sleeping on her opportuni- ties. He can not see why the Mexican people should go by Phoenix to Cali fornia to get their strawberries, vege- tables and fruits when better products
 
 does not see why the Phoenix mer- chants in numerous lines. doing a job ping business. should not reach out for Mexican trade instead of letting
 the orders all go clear by Arizona to
 the east. He does not see wh.' the
 dairy and farm products consumed in Sonora should come from Calofornia when better goods can be had here, that is, equally as good goods and that much closer and therefore fresher. There is one reason though. says MT. Redewill and that is that the Los Angeles people appreciate the value of
 that trade and go after it. He met ! Los Angeles hustlers wherever he went i and found them doing business. too. ! All these thoughts come to him as a
 resident of Phoenix and interested in ! her prosperity. He isn't asking any | body to help him in his business. for he is doing all right as it is. He has been looking after his Mexican trade | for years and proposes to continue to | do so, but he would like to see some of the other Phoenix business houses l share in this prosperity.
