OUR GUITARS IN MEXICO
Ninety-five Per Cent of Instruments Purchased There
Are Manufactured in the United States.
When the Mexican swain serenades his inamorata
he accompanies his song on an American guitar.
When the blithe insurrecto makes the dolce far niente
merry with music it is an American guitar he uses
to plunk the inspiriting measures. No matter where
he gets his gun the temperamental Mexican depends
on the manufacturers of the United States for his
beloved guitar. In short ninety-five per cent of the
guitars sold in Tampico are made in the United
States, the remaining bare five per cent coming from
Germany.
The figures are those of Consul James B. Stewart
in a report to the Department of Commerce in which
he gives flattering explanation that durability counts
in Mexico more than is generally supposed and that
the American guitar is characterized by that desir-
able feature. The American frankly admits that the
American guitar is less attractive to the eye than
the German instrument but it is stronger and made
of better wood.
But the German violins sell more readily in Mexico
