for distribution of U.S. tractors
Hongkong is to become a distribution centre in Southeast Asia for the International Harvester Export Co, of Chicago, for its crawler tractors which are used for heavy, construction work.
An initial shipment of six tractors has arrived from the United States, and were off- loated at the Kowloon Whart this morning.
Mr Paul Wood, special repre- sentative of the company and President of the company in the Philippines, suid this morning that Hongkong has been chosen as the distribution centre
this part of the world because of its Tow handling costs, good handling facilities and free port privileges.
He said his company in- lended to keep a regular slock of tractors here, so -as to save buyers" tms.
Two orders
The present shipment con- sists of three sets of different heaviest types and sizes. The type is the TD 250, which costs about $200,000 each.
While the tractors were on their way here in the American Poncer Mill, orders for the purchase of two of the tractors were placed one locally and the other in Colombo, Ceylon,
In addition to Mr Wood, Me Carl Granquist, Vice President of the company, were, among others present at the unloading) Both are on a visit here or the course of a business apection tour to the Far Earl,
