SEND BUYERS FIRST
IS MIXS SUGGESTION
Head of Dodge Manufacturing
Co. Suggests New Plan of ES-
tabIiShing Trade and Credit
Relations With South America

The Illinois Manufacturers assOcia-
tor received a letter from NJ. w. Nix,
president OF the Dodge Manufacturing
Co. Of AIisha.waka, urging the sending
OF buyers to South America, instead
of statesmen. as the first step toward
developing a South American trade.
Mr.. Mix form erly was president or
the Indiana Manufacturers assocls-
ton His idea is that the question OF
credits. which has made the manu-
facturers and exporters Of the United
states dubious about taking up the
South American trade situation, would
be answered by buying from the cOun-
tries first and then selling on the
credit which had been established.
Letter To Be Considered.
The letter was TO be presented TO
the subcommittee Of the foreign trade
committee Of the association at its
meeting Tuesday afternoon IN Chi
cago. Several manufacturers have
urged the step that Mr.. Mix suggest
ed, and il is possible that some action
may be taken on the letter today.
The letter follows:
My Dear Mr.. Glenn: Why me- send
buyers to South America first? Evhd
the statesmen down later.
Wont we thus establish better re
lations than in any other way and
greatly simplify the problems Of ex-
change?
Wont they naturally trade where
they have the largest credit standing
on account of taking their products?
This worlds trade proposition is
very enticing, but we do not want tC
start from the wrong end"
