Plans for Project To

One of the questions which are
asked when plana for the develop
ment of South American trade are
under conalderstlon, 1* why If la not
poaalbie for bualnesa men front the
United State* to fro Into *he Ijuln-
American market and simply sell
their products without discussing
the matter with hankers Why
should not Americans sell in Argen
tina and Chile In the same way as
they do here? Why should there
be so much fussing about "financing
trade*"’ The answer Is that the
South American method of doing
business Is entirely different from
the methods that nre followed In the
United States. Mere most business
men pay their hills on the firs* of
the month. In South America, how
ever. there Is universal Insistence
upon 60 and JKPday credits. One of
the biggest problems being consider
ed by the International high com
mission, now meeting in Buenos
Aires, *l* to find some wav whereby
60 to fui-day credits may be obtain
ed and increased steamship service
with the United States Inaugurated
Financing Che trade of the United
States business men with South
American merchants, however, la
the most important phase in the
present commercial relations be
tween North and South Amerh a.
The manager of the foreign depart
ment of a Han Francisco bank thus
described the situation after a visit
to South America:

Largest Industrial Exhibit AUTO PARTS
In Country Is Maintained rinu nnnu/o
By the Board of Commerce rlnm unUTTO
During the last year the l>etr#
Board of Commerce has organized
and put Into operation a compre
hensive Industrial welfare bureau,
the object of which Is to promote
factor)’ betterment, not only In me
chanical efficiency, but In Improv
lng the physical, m* utal. social and
economic conditions of the em
ployes. Work of the bureau, after
six months' trial, has met with con
siderable success, proving the value
of such an organization.
The most spectacular _leature of
the bureau Is a permanent exhibi
tion, showing the work being done
In all parts of the country In bet
tering Industrial relations. The ser
vices of an expert were obtained In
organizing this exhibit, which Is the
largest of Its kind In the United
States and conservatively valued at
$50,000. The exhibit was thrown
open to the public last February,
and In the weeks that fllllowetk hun
dreds of people interested In indus
trial work Inspected It. Welfare
managers from all parts of the conn
try have examined the exhibß since
that time.
Among the feature displays Is one
by the Fierce-Arrow Motor Car Cos.,
which shows the huge dining room
and splendid equipment maintained
for Its employes and the elaborate
wash rooms where at one time more
needed. Had It not been for the
fact that the United States plaeed at
the disposal of the cc mmlttee of
American business men the cruiser
Cleveland If would have l>een Im
possible for that committee to visit
all the countries In the time grant
ed. It would have taken from six
to eight months While this ?hov *
the need for better steamship fadlt
ties, the South and Central Ameri
can republics are chiefly concerned
about the methods which will be
adopted by the United States to
finance the new trade with I-Atln-
Amertra This financing has always
been done by l/mdon, but it must
now bo done by the L T nitcd States, if
this country Is to replace Great
Britain In America. The Cen
tral American republics are keenly
alive to the possibility t>f opening
new financial connections necessary
to the expansion of their vast nat
ural resources. They want a mar
ket In the United States for their
responsible national, state and In
dustrial bonds. We cannot look for
a solution until at least part of the
financing 1n foreign countries D
cared for with American capital.”
Fortunately the bankers of the
United States ere fully alive to the
needs of the situation. They are
responding Intelligently to the re
quirements of American business
men. who are combining for the
trade of South and Central America.
With the government taking an ac
tive Interest and the bankers show
lng such Initiative, there should be
little doubt of the ultimate success
of the movement for a larger share
of the South American trade
American leader.
SAYS NEAL CURE
MADE HIM MAN
Business Man Declares That
Drinking Is Impulse At
First, Then Craving
"There Is * psychology of drink
ing—it state of mind that results
from drinking ns a habit." said N.
W. Meyer, manager of the ivtmlt
Neal institute, recently. "This state
of mind prompts s man to drink
even when he doesn't want liquor.
It Is as much a part of the disease
of alcoholism as the condition of
the digestive organs and the blood.
"To Illustrate this point, let mo
rglre you the exi>erlence of a busi
ness man Just as he told It to me:
"‘I realised, * said the man. 'that
when the mind was affected, I felt
that I had to have a drink whether
I wanted It or not. The desire to
drink la sometimes an Impulse, rath
er than a craving. The craving Is
physical—the Impulse is mental.
Klther one Is a burden—both togeth
er a combination that every hahltnal
drinker suceutnbe to. Often the men
tal Impulse, without the physical
craving, leads to the first drink —
and the first drink almost Invariably
starts the craving that Is Irresisti
ble. That Is what happened to me
and It Is to the Neal treatment that
I owe my present health and posi
tion. For every ounce of good that
liquor ever did It haa done a mil
lion pound* of harm.’"

An exact replica of the cafeteria
in which 4.000 persons are fed dally
Is the exhibit of the National Lamps
works, of Cleveland. The exhibition
shows the cafeteria complete in
every detail
A miniature reception room, simi
lar 1o many installed in modern fac
tories, is shown by the Brunswlck-
Balke Cullender Cos. Two small
bowling nlleyß, exact reproductions
of larger ones, and several billiard
tables are shown In a factory room.
An exhibition from the Reming
ton Typewriter Cos. deals entirely
with safety guards for the various
, kinds of machinery used In its
shops. The Cadillac Motor Car Cos.
shows the unusual and successful
milk depots, nine of which are lo
cated ir» places adjacent to the shop
rooms where the men are allowed
to leave thelf work and get a pint
of milk. Among other exhibitors
are the J L. Hudson Cos.; Michigan
State Telephone Cos ; Frederick
Stearns & Cos.; Western Union Tel
egraph Cos., and the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Cos., of New York.
The bureau Is now getting out a
questtonalre on welfare and em
ployment, whi<h 1*» being sent to
2,000 Industrial firms located
throughout the country. The results
of this questlonaire will be compiled
for future reference.

MUCH PER FOOT
In the clearing away of the site
at and Shelby st., to
make ready for the construction of
the new’ building for the Sweeney-
Huston Cos, one of TVtrolt’s land
marks passes from view. For the
last few years, due to the buildings
erected around it. the roof w’as all
that could be seen of the original
building, which was erected for a
church house by the .Congregation
al Unitarian church society In 1853.
At the time the two corner lota were
purchased by the church, the price
paid was $3,000, a price wfhtch now
only approximates the value per
foot of frontage of the property.
The Sweeney Huston Cos. will use
six floors of the new' building for
billiards and howling alleys, while
the ground floor will be divided for
store purposes.
Smith, Hlnchmsn ft Grylls, archl
tests and engineers, are In chargo
of the work.

J. W. Murray Mfg. Cos. In
creases Capital Stock From
$200,000 to $500,000
The J. W. Murray Manufacturing
Cos., makers of auto parts, has Just
received a certificate of Increase of
capital stock from $200,000 to $500,-
000. Os the new stock $250,000 has
been subscribed, the greater portion
of which will be paid in by the dec
laration of a 100 per cent stock divi
dend, w’hlle the balance will be
taken up by the directors.
To properly care for Its increased
business the concern has also In
vested In three and a half acres of
property and a modem factory
building at a cost of $175,000. This
will serve to about double Its ca
pacity, aa all the original plants
will continue to be operated. The
combined floor space will be 150.000
square feet. The company’s present
site covers an area of about one and
one-half acres.
J. W. Murray started three years
ago with moderate capital, and a
force of but 15 men. The company
now employes 400. This growth and
the company’s reputation for atten
tion to orders and delivery, are due
to the generous plan of co-operation
and profit-sharing Murray adopted
from the very start of his manufac
turing career.
Mr. Murray began to manufac
ture on hla own capital, but three
of those associated with him were
given stock at the beginning. At
the end of the first year three more
were taken in, and when the second
year came to a close six more were
added to the list of stockholders.
This year still more of the employes
are to be given stock. All employes
who are not stockholders are par
takers in a profit-sharing plan,
based upon a percentage of the
company’s profits divided semi-an
nually.
The officers of (he company are:
J. W. Murrny, president and general
manager; Ixjuls G. Schwarz, vice
president; J. R. Murray, secretary,
treasurer and production manager;
Wm. Rlnnck and Frank J. Schwarz,
directors.
