Incorporated

There was a time in the Imperial
valley, and not SO long ago, that moST
an, old thing would do. any KIND OF
nakeshift contrivance would suilce
for the time being, just so the farm
ers could bring the rich soil OF the
valley under cultivation and reap d
crcp. That time is past. the day Is
gone for temporary structure, ana 'he
farmers are nov building for the fu-
! ture as the bank accounts that ln'
crea.e each season correlatively WITH
the abundant harvests, prove beyond
the chance Of discussion that THIS
valley has a future and a very great
one at that. Permanency and substan-
tialness now characterize the progress
of industry in the valley and the nome
builders are looking for those mate
rails for construction that insure dur
ability and service.

portant and necessary improvements
ON the farm. the farmers, after due
Investigation, naturally turn to hoE
