the gist OF report from Consul Samuel e
Magin at Guadalajsra. Thouhg only about
10000 OF the total 100000 Inhabitants OF
Mexico, they pay little attention TO the
price, as long as il is OF the highest quail
ity. Many foreign competitors have imi-
tated imported goods Of a poor quality, only
soon to lose their patronage in Mexico,
owing to the inferiority OF their merchan-
disc.
American shoes are now the standard In
Mexico. Though more than fifty per cent
Of the inhabitants of Mexico wear sandals,
many are turning to shoes. There are
many shoe factories in Mexico, but these
turn out shoes for those who are not par
ticular. owing to the protective duty on
importations it is impossible to import cheap
shoes into Mexico to compete with those OF
native make.
