Since Tampico is now the lending commercial port of Mexico, exclusive of oil and silver cargoes which made it Important even when little else passed through it. the condition of business here is a fair reflection of business throughout the republic the Imports largely going to the Interior and the exports California Preparatory Institution Will Erect Plant in Hills Construction Work to Cost More Than Million Manufacturers Confer With Store Managers lartelv rnminc from th interior. ty and connaence are numerous St. of Most of Structures to be Steel Frame Louis Merchant Outlines Co-operation Need The fact, therefore, that 1925 rEXCLWIVB DISPATCH COV1NA, Sept.

6. Plans for the $250,000 buildings of the California Preparatory School for Boys have been rapidly maturing since the return last week from the East of Mrs. J. H. Henry, president of the school.

Formerly known as the Pasadena Military Academy the school's growth has been such that last spring It was necessary to And a larger site and 100 acres of hill and mesa land In the picturesque Y5an Jose Hills southeast of Covlna was purchased. 1 lj FOR A COUNTRY HOME The plant when completed wiHi The marketing of a greater volume of locally-made apparel to the Los Angeles public depends upon the goodwill of the retail store buyer, it was developed at a meeting at the Chamber of Commerce called by R. D. Sangster, manager of the Industrial department, last "The biggest single factor In boosting local wearing apparel manufacturing Is the store buyer," said Thomas Garland of St. Louis, to a group of apparel manufacturers and department store managers at the meeting.

Mr. Garland Is a ready-to-wear retail merchant of many years' standing In St. Louis. "My experience," said Mr, Garland, "Is that the distributor of style apparel makes the pace and can, therefore, through his buyers create nil merchandise and place his purchases where he will. "I have no difficulty In St.

Louis In employing the local manufacturer for oualitv merchandise of Tampico can no longer claim undisputed right to the title of capital of the oil. world, as It could In 1920-22, as noy It Is compplled to ship In light oil from California and Texas for Its refineries, and only in the production of heavy oil heads the list of producing fleWs. Tet right now the American bxisl-ness men of Tampico are enthusiastically working for a new country club which would rank along with the best In the United States. People who expected to spend only a few years In Mexico would not be Interested In such a project, but these men in close touch with business throughout the republic foresee a great business future and steadily Increasing Interstate and International commerce. They consider cotton, rubber and commercial agriculture In their Infancy in Mexico and predict a future in those world necessities which will make the silver and oil wealth of Mexico shrink into Insignificance by comparison.

The Tampico Woman's Club also has a building and grounds which many a famous metropolitan club in the United States would envy. C.O.D. NOW POSSIBLE By an arrangement just completed between the postofftce departments of Mexico and the United States, c.o.d. packages now may be sent by mall from either country. This should be a matter of interest to many a merchant In the United States, and al8o to many a person there who would like to get some Mexican cigars or drawn work or Indian blankets without after them.

C.o.d. parcel post, shipments from the accommodate 160 pupils and will consist of four dormitories, five faculty cottages, administration building," dlning-hall, swimming pool, gymnasium, stables, dairy and vegetable gardens. The course of study which will be nonmilltary will constitute four years of elementary and four years of preparatory- college work. C. M.

Wood, superintendent of the school, states that the school enrollment for the coming year exceeds greatly that of other years, pupils being enrolled from promises to be the banner year of the Tampico gateway Is significant to students of -conditions throughout Mexico. If the remainder of this year holds up to the recexd already established, more than 660,000 tons of general cargo will be handled through this gateway, exclusive of silver and oil. Oil exports average close to ten times the monthly tonnage of general cargo exported. With 560,000 tons of general cargo in 1925 and the probabilities are that those figures will be exceeded, as the Increase in tonnage is steady the port will show an Increase of 136,000 tons over last year, when the total was tons. In 1923 the total was 346,984 tons and in 1922 only tons, oik ami bullion and supplies for the oil companies than being virtually the only things handled through the port.

General cargo business shows a steady increase of more thai 100. 000 tons annually. In" spite of the fact that the needs of the oil companies are diminishing. 1021 BOOM YEAR, In 1921, the great boom year of the oil fields, 453,000 tons of cargo was handled here, virtually all being for the oil companies. Now only about 100,000 tons a year Is handled for the companies, while more than 400,000 tons annually is handled for mining and agricultural and commercial enterprises elsewhere in Mexico.

Four years ago Insurance companies in New York refused to insure goods consigned to Tampico against theft, as the municipal wharf was In a hopeless tangle. Goods "were piled anywhere, left days and weeks unprotected and everything connected with their handling was disorganized and inefficient.
