other parts to the present business Of
the firm, Negotiations are under way
for the purchase Of n building as the
factory now occupied on South Main
street is far too small II a building
can not be bought. the firm will buy a
lot and build one
This deal was necessitated because OF
the expanding export business Of the
firm, Starting nine years ago with q
small repair shop, the business has
grown until the firm now Is exporting
bicycles and all the parts which 80 into
their manufacture, to Japan, Cuba, Pan
ANA and several OF the Central Amerl-
can countries.
The trade with Japan is carried on
through Mariushi Shokai, Limited, one
OF the largest trading companies In
Japan.
The greatest complaint. both from
Japan and Cuba, Is OF slow shipments.
One shipment made last year was IL
months In reaching Yokahama. Conse-
quently members OF the firm are no
great admirers Of government railroad
efficiency as II was discovered that
the delay occurred at Seattle, because
OF some change In railroad rates. The
foreign trade, especially that with
Japan is all on q spot cash basis.
Mr. Meyer said Monday that he in
tends to experiment with native woods
In the making OF bicycle rims, Most
OF these now are made OF hard maple.
That could be used Of course, but he
believes that other woods would prove
equally valuable, The firm hopes TO
have their new factory in operation by
the first Of the year.
