SHOWCASE FOR U.S. GOODS OPENING IN
COMMON MARKET
The United States next month will take a significant new
step to boost future sales of made-in-the-U.S. products within
the Common Market by tens of millions of dollars a year.
On Nov. 13, the Rovernmcnt will open its first permanent
trade center a permanent showcase for American-manufactured
products in Frankfurt, Germany. Until Dec. 7 more
than 30 U. S. manufacturers of electrical appliances will
display products ranging from electric knife sharpeners to
food freezers in a newly constructed 10,000-squarc foot hall
in the heart of Frankfurt's downtown business district.
The Rovernmcnt is starting an advertising-publicity drive
right now to pull in buyers from all over the Common
Market to the center. Salesmen and representatives of the
U. S. firms will be constantly on hand to explain the virtues
of the wares, take orders for immediate delivery. A key
purpose of the exhibition will be to obtain for the U. S.
companies overseas distributors for their goods. Another
prime purpose will be to help smaller U. S. businessmen get
Into the Common Market. Side by side with such giant ex
hibitors as Westinghouse and Carrier will be such lesser
knows as Hupp Corp. of Cleveland, Swing-A-Way Manufac
turing of St. Louis (makers of a can opener for the home).
As Secretary of Commerce Hodges remarked in an
nouncing the November opening of the miniature mer
chandise mart today, "This is an outstanding example of
government-business cooperation" to expand U. S. exports
and a "marketing advance of major importance."
The Frankfurt showcase will be the third we've set up in
this era of acute awareness of the need to expand our over
seas sales goods so we can create more U.S. jobs and pay
checks as well as bring our international accounts into bal.
ance. (All of the products to be shown must be entirely made-In-U.S.;
companies with plants within the Common Market
cannot exhibit goods made at those plants at the center.)
The first trade center we established was in London in
June 1061. to lap the United Kingdom market. The product
promotions at London resulted in additional sales in the first
year alone of over $3 million. One U. S. company in a house
wares display made a sale of $300,000, another a sale of
S250.00O. "Most important," said a Commerce department
official In an interview, "has been the extent to which
hundreds of American manufacturers have located overseas
agents to continue pushing the U S -made products abroad."
The second was established in Bangkok, Thailand, this
past April to tap the Southeast Asia market. The third is
this Common Market center and the fourth will follow in
1963 in Tokyo.
Why the decision to start out with electrical appliances?
Because a survey made for the government emphasized that
the Common Market can absorb millions of dollars more of
these products. For instance, there are only 23 radios for
every 100 Europeans in the Common Market against 95 for
every 100 of us. There are only six refrigerators for every
100 Common Market residents against 28 for every 100 here.
"The Common Market center should easily create more
than S3 million of extra sales the London center developed
In the first year," said the Commerce department official.
After the appliance display will come an exhibit of made
In U S. auto equipment in January, then an exhibit of made-in-U
S. toys and games in February. So it w ill go.
Even though we're already selling $4.5 billion a year of
goods in the Common Market more than twice our im
ports from this area there are immense opportunities for
expansion. Particularly open are such fields at dental and
medical equipment, auto maintenance equipment, camping
goods, toys and games, do-it-yourself items. Of West Ger
many's $11 billion of purchasei from other countries last
year, the U.S. share was only 14 per cent. "We should be
able to raise this lo 20 per cent in the first year," the of
ficial estimates.
Other countries are far ahead of us on this. Just in New
York City 20 nations maintain permanent product displays.
But we're finally moving aggressively to expand our export
trade, and with the trade act now law we ll be bargaining
down tariff walls soon too.
This is one ck-ar way to make US jobs, paychecks,
profits And among the biggest gainers may be our smaller
businessmen who. without the U.S. Government's aistanee,
wouldn't get in on this at all.

The RoRue River National
forest suffered considerable
damage from the storm which
recently swept over the area.
Preliminary estimates of
damage have been made,
which will be followed by a
more detailed estimate dur
ing the next week, forest
service officials said.
Rough estimates show
about 67 million board feet of
timber blown down; consid
erable damage to campground
tables, toilets, and stoves; and
14 summer homes heavily
damaged. I
In addition there are many
miles of streams clogged by
debris; severe erosion and
damage to 56 miles of roads in
the Ashland Watershed; and
an additional 126 miles of
roads damaged by water or
slides. About 4S0 miles of
roads are closed by blow
down. Forest service crews
worked 24 hours a day open
ing roads so hunters could
get out. More than $5,000 was
spent on this item alone, of
ficials noted.
Damage to buildings and
forest service telephone lines
is estimated to be in excess
of S14.000.
The preliminary estimates
are being verified and plans
being made to salvage the
timber and repair damaged
roads and other facilities, of
ficials said.
