SANTONE PRESS AGENT
SENDS BEST WISHES
Alamo City Is AnxiousIy Awaiting the

John B, Darlington, publicity
agent for San Antonio, reading in
THE HERALD of the steps taken
by Brownsville real estate men to
form press bureau for this city
and district, has sent his best
wishes to the local boomers. Mr..
Darlington has demonstrated how
a city can advertise itself.
During the month of January
Mr.. Darlington has had published
in papers outside of San Antonio
over II, 900 lines of stuff about the
Alamo City and Southwest Texas.
In a letter to THE HERALD
he says:
In my press stories I have sew
eral times made mention of
Brownsville and will continue to
do so. We are trying to run this
service for the good of all South
west Texas as well as San Antonio,
and want orr sister cities to know
this fact. We feel that Browns
vile should feel closer to San An
tonic than to Houston or Calves
ton. Sooner or later we shall get
a railroad direct from this city to
Brownsville and the tie that binds
will then make us next-door
We feel proud of the
splendid development going on in
and are prepared to
further it in any way we can"

SAP NAY LESSEN ITS
TIME TO BROWNSVILLE.
Road Said to Be Considering This
Seheme-San Antonio Likes
Service.

The San Antonio Express had
the following to say yesterday re-
garding the railroad service to
Brownsville:
San Antonio business men are
we'll pleased with the service which
is afforded out of this city into the
Brownsville country over the Vic
toria division of the Sunset and the
St. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico
road.
The journey by way of this route
is made practically in daylight
hours, passengers leaving San An
tonic in the morning at 7:05 clock,
connecting at Placedo with the St.
Louis, Brownsville & Mexico road,
reaching the terminal of that line,
Brownsville, in the evening at 9:25
O'Clock of the same day. Connec-
ton is made at Placedo at ass
o'clock in the afternoon.
On the return trip, from Browns
vile to San Antonio, connection is
also made at Placedo.
The establishment of this service
placed San Antonio in quicker COM
munication with the Brownsville
country, than before the arrange
ment was effected, and it is of much
value to the business men and tray
cling public.
The Importance of the Browns
vile section as a trade territory for
San Antonio has led to the move
ment on the part of the San An
tonic & Arkansas Pass Railway to
make better time to Brownsville;
and the competitive situation that
exists as a result of the recent com
pletion of the Victoria branch of
the Galveston, Harrisburg and San
Antonio Railway is probably to be-
come of advantage to San Antonio
in securing better service.
