El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1910-04-18

the official badge of the New Orleans
temple, the "El Paso hats" were the
most sought for of any.
The women and children went wild
over the quaint little burros, and they
were petted and loved wherever they
appeared on the streets.
FL Paso seemed to be the only town
in Texas at New Orleans Although
Galveston. Houston and Dallas Were
there in force with a military shrine
band from Galveston and a press agent
from Houston. Ell Paso attracted more
attention, received more publicity and
pulled off more unique stunts than
the other Texas shrines combined The
burros, the Mexican costumes and the
enthusiasm of the Ell Pasoans for their
city was what won for them The pa
pers carried column after column about
the doings of FL Paso and printed pic
lures Of the individual mobiles and the
party. Wherever an FL Pasoan went
he was greeted with cheers for his 10Y
atty TO his home town and the assertion
was made that FL PasO had received
thousands of dollars worth of the most
valuable advertising possible out or the
pilgrimage to New Orleans
