Laredo Retail Trade Hits Sharp Postwar Slump
A Saturay report from Charles Mumm of the Laredo chamber of commerce notes retail sales in Laredo have fallen by about half over four days. The drop follows Mexican government actions cutting patronage from Nuevo Laredo and northern Nuevo Leon, hurting cross border commerce and tourist traffic. Groceries and goods crossing the Rio Grande are scrutinized, with many shoppers forced to abandon purchases or leave without proper papers, while the Mexican side sees a strong embargo impact on daily revenue. District Attorney John Valls reports receiving many telegrams commending his stance on political matters amid tensions with Mexican officials. The piece also mentions a Christmas promotion at a local drug store.
