American Tourists
Cross Border To
Shop, Not Sightsee
By RALPH DIGHTON
(#*) Newsfeatures
NOGALES, Ariz.—Hardly any
one goes across the Mexican bor
der just to see the sights—there
isn’t much to see around Nogales,
Sonora, Mexico, that can’t be seen
from Nogales, Ariz.
Ninety-eight out of 100 Ameri
can tourists who cross the interna
tional line, says Wirt G. Bowman,
Arizona district collector of U. S.
Customs, go to Mexico to buy.
Jewelry, clothing, luggage—all
the more popular bits of dollar
bait—and sold south of the high
wire fence that divides the two
cities of Nogales for less than half
the prevailing price in the States.
About the only exceptions are ny
lon hose, at $2.95 a pair, and sugar
at 7Vfe cents a pound.
The government allows any cit
izen to bring back into the U. S.
duty free, up to $100 worth of
Mexican goods, with the proviso
that 30 days elapse between each
international shopping trip. This
liberal “spending allowance” is
causing trouble on the American
side of the border.
“We have only one gate,” says
Bowman, “where returning tour
ists have to pass inspection and
declare their purchases. On busy
Sundays, even now, 20 would not
be too many. Cars often are lined
up for blocks behind the customs
gate. How we are going to handle
the big rush when the summer
tourist season begins is something j
more than we know now.”
Family Skulldudgery
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind.—f/P)
—Harry T. Starnes, observing his
family’s 75th year as beekeepers,!
says they got their start when his j
grandfather stole a hive of bees j
from an uncle. But the uncle knew j
about it—there was a superstition
it was unlucky to sell or give
away bees.
