The plain, unvarnished
facts gathered and presented below,
in the briefest possible manner, are
solid proofs that Mexico is
INCREASING IN POPULATION, IN WEALTH,
In business and in power as she
never did before. One can recognize
at glance those places which are
full of lusty vlgor and uncommon

they exhibit. TO build is the best
test possible of the capacity to grap-
pie with any sort of adverse circum.
stances, and 10 the story of the las,
six months there can also be found
the further interesting story OF what
a united people can do when they
have faith in themselves, their city
and their city's future.
