Encouraging Reports

The Deming Real Estate Board is
getting the most encouraging news
from all parts of the country from
prospectors who want to know the
truth about Deming and the Won
derful Mimbres Valley. II is indeed
surprising to know how the outside
world looks on an organization of
this kind. When it was organized
no one thought it would attract the
attention from parties in other
states that it has. Real estate men
from all parts Of the country are
writing to know if they can form a
connection with this board whereby
the board will take charge of their
customers who want to come to this
valley. It's great and means so
much for the valley, inasmuch as
the attention and true status of
conditions is given these prospectors
and they are located and become
citizens. The work of this board
means more to the valley than all
the other efforts being made.
The following is a list of the mem
