AS MANY BELIEVE
Mlexiec City, Sept. 20.-Despite con
(itions poinlarly regarded in the
Uinited States as uninviting to Anier
can trade expansion here, business
between that country and Alexico
shows a decided upward trend. D)uring
the fiscal year just closed imports and
exports be ween the two republics
amoutnted ( more than 531,000,000
peso<, according to figures given the
Assoviated Press by W. F. Saunders,
secretary of the American Chamber
of Commerce in Mexico City.
Of this amiount 376,000,000 pesos
represent exports from Mexico and
164,000,000 pesos represents im1port.q.
Previous to the current fiscal year,
the banner period of Mexican-United
States busines, was in 1911 when 102,
000,000 pesos worth of goods were ex
ported from Mexico and 1-16,000,000
pesos worth were imported.
"Deducting amounts representing
petroleumn xportalions 'which are not
colsidered in the ordinary run of
coni iercial bisiniess.-anid for increas
ed values of goods. these figiures in
dicale clearly that trade is increas
Ing." sai .Mr. Saund-rs. "Mexico will
spend ilor than $150,000,000 in Ihe
'nited States during the year 1919,
with imports of hardware, machinery,
dris and dry goods leading all oth
ers. DIiing the mon i h of Au gust we
receivei more than 700 letters from
irmtins who intimated ientions of es
tah!ishina branches here.

A 'tenuious effort is being inde to

YOU'RE all young mn
these days when it comes .XA
to clothes. We have stykas
that are cal led "young men's
styles;" and others, more
conservative and quiet, that
are called "men' s styles."
But we notice that these
don't always go by ages;14
some men of 25 want the N
quieter models; some mnen
8 of 50 or 60 like the snappy
stuff. But the y all want to
look smartly dressed.
