Along the new highways around Lima, small but modern plants are producing everything from TV sets to tobacco products. Cashing in on consumer prosperity, Sears, Roebuck will soon open its third store in Lima, and has plans for two more next year. Until March 1965, Peru imported all its autos; it now has five assembly plants, will get eight more from French, German, Swedish and Japanese automakers next year. Says General Motors...
