MEXICO BUYS
MANY j. s. CARS

According to Information received
at the chamber Of commerce from
consular sources. Mexico has, during
the last eight years. in spite Of in
ternal troubles, bought Has passen-
ger cars and 1880 motor trucks from
the United States.
In 1917 the Mexican government
temporarily exempted automobiles
from import duties. This exemption
was renewed for 1913 and in 1919 it
was extended indefinitely.
Mexico has imported no cars from
Europe since 1914 and 90 percent OF
the cars in that country today are
American made. The only COMPETE
ton Is in Mexico itself. as there are
two automobile factories in Mexico
