SHOW BUILDINGS
FOR CANAL ZONE
PLAN rs CONTEMPLATED TO GET
IN TOUCH WITH SOUTH
+ AMERICANS.

DALLAS. TEN. March 1o.--AmonG
the many important matters which
will come before the annual conven-
ton OF the Asso ciSted Advertising
Clubs OF America when they meet at
Dallas May 10 to 20, ia one which
win be presented by J. Hampton
Rich. of Winston salem, n. G. Mr..
Rich will advocate the establishment
OF show buildings In the Panama Ca
nal Zone, in which will be shown
products Of the United states. OF
his plan he says:
When the canal js opened large
numbers OF people from South Amer
lea will vieit Panama. The United
States wants the trade OF there peo-
pie. aud with the establishment of
large showrooms and warehouses will
be easy to obtain it.
Many adva ntages will accrue from
such esta hlishn1ents. In the f1rst
place Americans will learn how to
trade with the merchants OF South
America. Germany Is already learn
ing this fact.
We should investigate the lines
of credit which South Americans
want. Just as German exporters have
done. and should study the COM
modtties which appeal to our South
American NeEnpoIS. men, WIN StCfi
stock constantly ON exhibition. we
would be in a position to get the
business.
Ships will take a day in cross
ing the isthmus. Passengers may
cross in a few hours; consequently
everyone who goes to Panama will
have an opportunity to see the goods
shown.
I'm rough way I would suggest
two companies, one to be holding
company Tor the buildings and the
other an exhibition company for n
series of shows. Merchants and man
ufacturers all over the country have
approved the plan"
