Such scenes are taking place all over America today, as other foreign scouting parties comb the highways and byways on the lookout for profitable finds. The searchers are Japanese and British, Canadian and South Korean, West German and Swiss, and all of them have one thought in mind: Buy! Buy! Buy!
