One of the strongest and most substantial commercial houses in the line city is that of the enter prising firm set forth in the caption of this article, which from a small beginning in 1892 has grown with the growth of the town and ex- banded with its expansion until the establishment has taken and occupied a long time command ing position among the strongest and most widely known commer- cial emporiums along the border.
 Their business occupies con- spicuous position on Morley ave- nue, near International street, and is housed in great stone structure, which is one of the most subs!an- tial buildings in the city, and dur ing their twenty years residence they have acquired other parcels of valuable improved real estate The firm consists of Messrs Manuel and Leocadio Escalada, who have been engaged, however, in business in the Uniled States many years. Before locating in Nogales they were established in Brownsville, Texas. The junior partner resides now in their native city, where he gives exclusive attention to the business of buying for the house.

In life insurance Mr Cumming represents the Missouri State Life Insurance Company, and his field in that line embraces the entire state of Sonora, wherein he has written many heavy policies.
 In all the influences which go to make for progression in the line city MT. Cumming has been always among the foremost. He is an ac- tive member of the Fire Depart ment, the Board of Trade, The Santa Club Cruz, and through two terms on the Town Board he per- formed efficient, effective and con- scientious service.

Recognizing the necessity for easy communication with all parts of the surrounding regions Mir. Gebler was prominent alwaysin the various projects for construc- tion of roads into the outlying regions, and he was active in the work, inaugurated in the early '90's, which brought about construction of road into the Gro Blanco re- zion, on the west, another eastward, :, to Washington Camp and Du- quesne, one toward Cananea, in Sonora, and a fourth into the Altar region, in southwesterly direction.
 Mir. Gebler has been identified also prominently with the leading financial institutions of the line city, being large shareholder in the First National Bank and the Nogales Building & Loan Associa, tion, a director in both, and the vice president of the first named.
 In public affairs Mir. Gebler has borne a prominent part, and has served several terms in the muni- cipal council. When the town was incorporated in 1892 the gentle man was a member of the town board, by appointment, and he was reelected two successive terms, in 1894 and 1896. Again in 1904 he consented to serve a term, and was elected upon the town board in that year. In the earlier years of the town government there were many important problems which came up for solution, and in the deliberations ofthe municipal board there were none of the members with a keener insight nor stronger grasp of the very knotty problems solved than Mir. Gebler, giving al- ways to the business of the town the same careful consideration and sound judgment that he has given ever to his own affairs. ADV.

The senior member of the firm, Mr. Manuel EScalada, was long an active member of the directorate of the Nogales X Santa Cruz County Board of Trade, of which institu- tion he was one of the organizers, and he was chairman of commit tee of that organization which raised the funds for and constructed fine wagon road connecting the line city with the rich Altar region in Sonora. All the ends sought by this enterprising firm are for the good and advancement of Nogales.

 With an abiding faith in the town MT. Vasquez made early iu his residence here important in- vestments in choice real estate, which he has improved in the most approved manner. Two of the finest business building on Morley avenue were erected by Mir.

The latter is of the modern, concrete, fire proof con- struction, Mr. Vasquez having been one of the first in the line city to adopt that method and material in construction. Both buildings are substantial and of massive appear ance, adding greatly to the hand some transformation which the avenue has presented with it's widening.
 The Red House fills conspicu- ous position on the east side of Morley avenue, near International street, and it is a large two. story structure, built of brick and stone, 60x100 feet in it's interior dimen- sions and floor space, with large and handsome plate glass windows the interior open clear to the cell ing of the second story, the shelv- ing and stands filled with goods occupying the entire space, a gallery around the inside making available the wall space to the very highest point. Upon the gallery at the head of the stairway leading ur there, are the cashiers and packing departments, connected with all parts of the store by automatic carriers. By the use of the latter all purchases are sent up for ins. pection and packing, and all pay. ments and memoranda go the desk directly.
