"a great deal of interest, due to the
probable effect IL will have on the

Commerce has been notified by Mex
leo City to report its attitude on the
project, and meeting TO consider i
will be held in the oustomhouse in

means that people, including mer-

if the duty on pair of shoes were

The "zona libre" was in existence
along the Mexican border during the
eighties, and was done away with

business houses flourished in Mata-
