El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-10-22

citation manifested by the men in the
Sunday services at the canyon.
c. r. Stratton-Everybo was as
kind TO US as possible and treated US
royalty. I know that I made a lot
of new acquaintance that value
highly. It was a great trade excur-
sion and I think 1t the most success
ful of any that L have ever been upon
If any town on earth has a more
loyal bunch Of boosters than the
bunch that went on this excursion, I
wish they would tell me where It Is
and I would move there.
Can't Say Too Much.
W. 3 Latta-I can't say enough IN
enjoyable in every way, as well as
profitable. There is no question about
it bringing business to El Paso. We
made friends on this trip which we
VIII hear from later. We went into
sections that I never saw before
some Of them-and il was a revelation
to me The business men should make
such a trip every year.
W. Y. Ellis-It was the greatest
trade excursion we ever had. If any
thing viii produce business. this trip
certainly viii bring it. Seventeen
cent copper is making everybody feel
good IN Arizona and that should GER
tsinly help FL PasO.
Trip Worth $500.
Eugene Harris have had the time
of my life 1t has been a wonderful
trip and I wouldn't take $500 for it
E NJ. Bray-The thing that i'm
pressed me most about this trip was
the good feeling We left In every
place we dissipated any idea Of self
ish motives and left the people feel
ing that we were really trying hard
to build up ali the southwest.
r. r. Seeds-It was the most sue
cessful trade trip that I have ever
been upon. We were royalty enter
tanned and the people certainly showed
good spirit towards FL Paso. I
think we got a whole lot Of adyer-
Using for FL Paso that is bound to
bring results
Mr. Kerr Enjoyed 1t.
Joe Kerr, Of a. Nderson-It was a
grand trip, one o. he greatest that
was ever on. I know it will do FL
PasO great good 1t was a great
outing and 1 found it a real pleasure
to meet the FL Pasoans and get so
well acquainted with them
Claiborne A6ams-It was an excel
lent trip and the results will be very
definite for Ell Psso. I think the peo-
pie Of the southwest now have
greater interest in e. Paso than ever
before. The results will be indirect,
but good. The people of the south
west appeared glad to meet US and
they will not soon forget FL Paso.
Greatly Beneficial.
Leo GaIe-The trade trip will be
greatly beneficial to FL Paso. We
had a good time and a good crowd.
The band boys were the incest bunch
] ever saw Capt Simonds, the regi-
mental adJutant commander, certainly
ought to be proud to command such
bunch of men I think Ell Paso mer-
chants will reap large benefits from
the trip If they follow it by sending
their travelling men into the territory.
We made a great impression and the
territory made an equally great i'm
preston upon US.
F. c. Searle-One thing that struck
me most forcibly on the trip and that
was that the photogfapns OF the
Grand canyon fail absolutely to con-
vey any idea Of its magnificence
and grandeur The visit to the
Grand canyon was TO me worth the
cost of the trip. 7 believe the trip
bound the ties of the people of the
who did not go on the trip, do not
know what they missed. I met two
men who came to the train to give
machinery orders to a certain FL PasO
house, but it had no representative
on the train and one Of the men told
me fatty that he would never give
the firm another order; he said he did
not believe in patronizing a firm that
was not patriotic enough to join its
home people on such an excursion as
this.
Walter Arnold am highly pleased
with the trip Every man who failed
to go to the bottom of the canyon
missed a real treat The acquaint-
ances made on the trip win bring re-
suits to FL PasO in the future.
VIII Help Trade.
George Evans think the FL PasO-
ans learned more than they taught.
7 had no conception of the resources
of the section We visited and it was
all a revelation to me and to many
others on the trip. As one of the job
bers on the trip, il will wake us up.
I had no conception Of hat it is pos
sible to do in that part of the coun-
try, especially the Salt River valley.
I see great trade possibilities in the
whole of the southwest greater than
I had dreamed of, and we are going
to push our campaign for business
much harder
& W. NortOn-I think the results
Of this trade excursion will be very
far reaching and do a great deal for
the upbuilding Of FL Paso and the
great southwest, both in a business
and a social way, for the people now
know how very friendly we are and
how much interest we are taking in
them.
Cemented Friendships.
