Vi advertising the unequalled
climatic advantages of San Anto-
MO?
III consuptives will come here be-
fore the disease has reached its last
stage, they will derive permanent
benefit from the climate.
Real estate owners, real estate
brokers, the hotels, the street car
companies, the breweries and mer-
chants should unite and organize
such club.
Hundreds of consumptives have
experienced the restoration influ-
rences and effects of the genial, pure,
and bracing climate of San Anto-
MO.
San Antonio needs to be proper
ly advertised as both winter and
a health resort. She has never en-
joyed the benefit of such advertis-
ing, in the past.
Persons in the last stage of con-
sumption, are past recuperation,.
and should remain at home, in
stead Of exhausting their feeble
and Pickering vitality in seeking
restoration in a more genial eli.
mate.
Nothing really has been done, in
this direction. Pamphlets have
been printed, and unceremonious-
ly pitched into the waste basket.
These pamphlets were either in
sufferably stupid, or stuffed with
clumsy lies, and were born still
born.
San Antonio is amply prepared
to accommodate and take care of
visitors and invalids. She is we'll
supplied with hotels and boarding
houses. Her markets are we'll
supplied.
By all means, let us have club,
or society, for the express purpose
OF advertising the advantages of
San Antonio, as a winter and
health resort-of corresponding
with capitalists and manufacturers
in the north, and of showing visit
ing capitalists over the city.
The capitalists in San Antonio
do not pull together, and, as a gen.
eral thing, are not liberal in the
countenance and help extended to
enterprises, bound to augment the
trade, wealth and population of
our city.
Waco raised, by voluntary con-
tributiop, $250,O00 for her Cotton
Palace exposition, but could that
sum be raised in San Antonio for
a fair, or any project to push the
city?
The possibilities of San Antonio
are magnificent. Her climatic ad-
vantages are unequalled. AS a
pleasant and healthful winter re-
sort for persons in the inclement
north and northwest, DESTROYS Of q
mild climate, San Antonio has no
superior in the United States.
The altitude of San Antonio above
the level of the Gulf of Mexico is
about 600 feet. There is not
swamp or lagoon in hundreds OF
miles. There is absolutely nothing
in the location or environments Of
San Antonio to generate mala-
rial atmosphere.
"What is everybody's business is
nobody's business" is an old but
true proverb. San Antonio is an
attestation of the entire truth Of
this saying. She has not been
properly advertised, because no Or
ganized body has made it its special
business to advertise the une-
qualled advantages of San Antonio.
1t is time the people of San An
tonic were opening a new set OF
books. Her business men and real
estate owners must be thawed out
and restored to animation, or the
future Of our city will be overcast
with clouds and darkness.
Public spirit and liberality are
not characteristics of San Antonio,
Talk is cheap and easy, but launch
ing out money to increase the trade.

is a "horse Of another color"
The climate is dry and invigor-
ating. Fogs are "like angels visits,
few and far between" The CHI
mate, the dryness OF the atmos-
phere, the exemption from all pre-
disposing causes to malaria, and
the altitude above the sea level,
all render San Antonio, unques-
tionably, the best resort for con-
sumptives on the continent.
