' Var ious rumors having, reached tfte Moreland' company,, that -certain parties of ' our " Latin ; neighbors were trying to do big things but lacked transportation facilities. As a result Ted Hobgood Went to Mexico. He proved the old prov erb that business can always be had if people know how to get it. Even though the buyers do' not realize if, added profits can be made by them with the proper equipment if this Is drawn to their attention. Mr. Hobgood returned with a large order for trucks and established an agency for the product of the well-known local concerns, the Moreland , Motor Truck company. He acquired a clear Insight 1 Intd -"the business condition of Mexico and in what way California can help. He found the business men of Mexico abso lutely reliable; the trouble lies with many of our -own business men who are suspicious In their dealings with our southern, neigh bors. He ' finds Mexicans very hospitable, courteous" and' greatly influenced by kind words - and considerate attention. This is something the Anglo-Saxons do not understand.
