CALExiCO BREEDING COMPANY
AND VETERINARY HOSPITAL
DR.. v. e. Cram, D. v. S.-Dr j. c.
Pace, D. v. S., PROPS.

The CalexicO Breeding Company and
Veterinary Hospital maintains an in
stitutiOn typical of the progressveness
OF The Imperial valley and illustrative
of the advanced ideas this community
has over other sections of the country,
more favored by age but not by ma
ture and a thrifty population. In fact.
it would be utterly impossible for most
communities of anything like a COM
pararive size to support such luxury.
for il is indeed a luxury to the indus
triOus farmers to have in their midst
an institution that provides selection
of breeding stations and jacks, and
at the same time offers a hospital for
their horses and cattle and a place
where expert advice may be had on
how SO breed and preserve the best
live stock.
The company opened this breeding
stable and veterinary hospital two
years ago, supplying much needed
for the benefit of the COM
and it has been literally pat
ronized ever since The company has
three high grade stations, one a heavy
draft PercherOn. one a running stall
lion and one driving stallion, and =
Jack said to be the best sire in South
ern California.
At the head of the firm are Ds. V. L.
Cram and J. c. Pace, graduate veter-
mary surgeons. so the farmers have a
double advantage on account of their
scientific knowledge of horses and cat
tie

others are making inquiries and COM

them is true.
Calexico has all the business houses
common to a city of it's size. Two
substantial financial institutions, good
daily newspaper, long list of mercaIi-
tile establishments, two good hotels,
CalexicO can boast of live CONNER
cial organization, known as the Farm
ers and Merchants Club which is
composed of the best class of Calexico
citizens, and in no place in the I'm
perial valley can be found a better
class of boosters than those that live
at CaleXico.
The schools of Calexico are of the
best to be found in the entire
valley. A grammar schools that is
equipped with all modern facilities to
educate the modern youth. Churches
of all denominations can also be found
there.
CaleXico is a town with future and
at no time has the outlook been as
promising as it is tOda., end pros.
pective settlers should not neglect
investigating the lands surrounding
this prosperous growing city.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK

A strong, healthy bank is the en-
blem of prosperity, thrift, industry
and progressiveness of the citizens
who make up a community. 1t speaks
of the energy that pulsates through
the arteries of commerce, the motive
power of genius that drives the wheels
of industry, the determination knit
ted into the social fabric that stands
for ambition and success.
1t is a fair assertion that the conf
dence felt by prospective investors in
the silt laden soil of he Imperial val
ley or its assOcil lted industries has
been founded to very considerable
extent upon the character of it's local
financial institutions No community
of its size in the entire country car
rake a better showing in this regard
than that of the Imperial valley, and
one of the principal factors in this
glowing attainment is the First Ma
tional Bank of Calexico, recognized as
one of the soundest and most ably
managed financial institutions in
Southern California
The First National Bank of CaleX
leo was established some two years
ago with a capital stock of $4,000, all
paid up, and launched into the finan-
cial world of this prosperous valley
with an impetus that spelled success
from the beginning. The story of its
career is well known in the commun-
ity by it's constant increase in business
and patronage and service to the pub
lie. and that it has from the very first
enjoyed the complete confidence of the
public is attested by the rapidness and
steadineSs of it's growth.
Above all else a bank must be safe
and it's officers must be conservative III
all dealings, practice every courtesy
and be accommodating in all matters
consistent with sound business princi-
pies. Modern banks are without doubt
the most progressive institutions in
the business world and probably do
more toward upbuilding a community
than all other factors combined for
the bank is the clearing house of pros
perity, power in commerce and in
dustrial interests and eXerts an in

DR.. J. c. PACE, D. v. s.
Veterinary Surgeon

Until recent years horses and cat
tie and other animals. when they be-
came i'll, were left to die or get well
If nature alone provided the remedy.
Now, conditions are different. Domes-
tic animals, so necessary to the pros
perity and happiness of man, nov re-
ceiVe the same attention when they
are sick or injured as human beings.
This is as it should be, for there is
no more laudable act than to minister
to the suffering of a dumb animal
Even foregoing the humanitarian idea
of treating dumb animals in time of
physical affiiction. it is good business
sense and financially profitable to re-
store them to health.
The farmers, recognizing these facts.
depend upon the veterinary surgeon to
treat their horses and cattle when they
are sick and for advice as to how 10
keep them healthy. AS a counselor
and practitioner in the profession of
veterinary surgery, DR.. ]. c. Pace has
become well known and prominent in
the Imperial valley and particularly in
the southern portion, as he maintains
Offices with the Calexico Breeding and
Veterinary Hospital, at Calexico, a
firm Of which he is one of the big
heads. His service has always been
so satisfactory that he has built up a
large practice and enjoys the high per-
sOnal regard of all in the community
DR.. Pace is a graduate in veterinary
surgery of the Colorado State College
and has been located in the valley
two years, which has been ample time
for him to establish an enviable repu-
tatiOn.

Mr.. Carr is one OF the best known
and NEST successful rancherg of the
Imperial valley, and owns forty acres
in the city limits OF CaleXico.
Mr.. Burnhans is also a we'll known,
successful rancher, and his l0C acres

of his career III the va:Ic5.
Mr.. Anderson is widely known
throughout the valley in all lines Of
business and is president of the An

What more could be asked of the
personnel of q bank in an agricultural
community like the Imperial valley ?
What better references could be re-
quired as to the integrity and business
ability of the officers and directors Of
any bank?
That these men fulfill all the re.
quirements of succe Ssful bankers is at
tested by the fact that the bank S
total resources March l, 1912, aggre-
gated S207 ,424.15, an increase over the
preceding year of $43,373 SO
Imperial Valley press., 1912-05-04

nous sum of $17O,613.97 an increas'
of $41,745.14 over the preceding year.
This remarkable gain could not have
appeared on the records of the bank
had it been located in a less prosper
Gus community and had it not the
complete confidence and good will OF
the people of the Imperial valley. Not
withstanding the fact that still other
and older banking institutions were in
successful operation in the valley
when this bank was organized, the
CaleXicO capitalists who decided upon
establishing the present institution
looked far into the future and, know
ing the great possibilities of the sur
rounding country, were confident that
within the next few years the vast
unsettled acreage in close proximity
to CaleXicO as well as the immense
fields that were beginning to yield the
wealth of the silt laden soil would
soon convert the hidden resources of
nature in clinking gold dollars and
stacks of bank currency. Without
hesitancy, they incorporated with q
capital stock of $25 1000, took over all
the commercial deposits of the First
State Bank, which was later known as
the CaleXico Savings Bank, and opened
the doors of the present institution
as the CaleXicO National Bank. That
the keen business insight into the fu-
ture Cf these men was correct and
their judgment unerring is now veri-
fled by the fact that the bank has
grown in such proportions that in
creased capitalization became neces-
sary to handle the volume of business
and an increase from $4,000 to $40
600 has just been authorized.
Thoroughly understanding the needs
of the community, this bank has un
eXcelled facilities for making collec-
tions, issuing exchange, advancing and
extending to firms, corporations and in
dividuals every accommodation their
responsibilities and balances warrant.
Prompt attention to all matters of bus
mess has been the axiom of this bank,
and the policy of helping those who
help themselves that has contributed
so much to the general prosperity of
CaleXcO and this section OF the lmpe-
rial valley, is due to the broad vision
of the men in charge of its affairs.
Their wise management is also respon-
sible for the confidence in the bank
shown by the federal government in
making it United States depository,
which in itself is sufficient testimo'
nial of its substantial standing, for
the government of the United States
does notp lace its money in keeping
except with those who are unQuestiOn-
ably responsible and offer the best
guarantees of security
The men who are handling this bank
made their money in this community
and they naturally take great pride
in advancing the interests of the bank
and promoting the industry of the val
ley.
The officers and directors of this
growing institution are recognized
leaders in the local world of business
and finance, their names stand

WILLIAM STANTON
Live Stock Broker and Auctioneer
"Picneer Auct,oneer'

No matter what calling a man
chooses for his personal advancement.
he may always be of use to the COM
munity at large, and vocation that
gives a man special and peculiar
advantage in the latter respect is that
OF auctiOneer. The auctiOneer knows
men, knows the public, knows the fl
nancial and industrial conditions of
community, keeps his finger CONSTANT,
on the pulse of the commonwealth. 50
he is in better position, perhaps,
than any one else to know and judge
what the community needs most. Then
# the auctiOneer takes advantage OF
the many opportunities to boost, which
come as an adjunct to his VOCATION he
becomes a booster and builder of the
community. But no one ever heard of
an aucticneer being a "knocker," 50
the very nature of his occupation must
necessarily make him a booster"
William Stanton, the pioneer auction
eer of the Imperial valley with head
quarters at Calexico, from which point
he also does large live stock brok-
erage business, is OF the sort that
boosts and builds. In this respect, Mr..
being more than ordinary, for he not
only takes advantage of every oppor-
tunity to say a good word or do some
thing for the good of the imperial val
ley, but makes opportunities if they
do not come fast enough. Over and
over his sonorous voice has told the
story Of the transformation of des-
ert into land of plenty, populated
with the most industrious congrega-
tiOn of humanity ever assembled on
a like area, and has repeatedly demon
strated the truthfulness of his most
lavish statements by actually produc-
ing the results of intellectual energy
products that bring the highest prices
This faculty of being able to bring
out all the good points of the valley
and it's products had placed Mr. Stan
ton head and shoulders above all other
auctioneers and he now controls 80
per cent of all the auction business in
the valley.
If there is anything Mr.. Stanton
thoroughly understands above all else,
it is cattle, for he has had wide eX-
perience in that line. He is man
of dominant will power. knowing no
such word as cant or failure, and
he inspires others with determination
and perseverance and spurs them on
to success. One of the best illustra-
tions of this trait of his character was
seen when he was associated with the
Union Stock Yards at Indianapolis,

concern started in to rreaK an iniqul-
tous combine existing among stock
yards, brokers and commission men, Il

farmers reaped the benefit and Mr..
Stanton was one of the men conspic-
uous in welding the club.
