Factories Needed p. Coles
A P. Coles, pioneer real estate and
insurance man, said:
I'VE should reach out and offer m
ducements for more manufacturing es-
Establishments like car wheel factories
glass, paper, and other factories, TO
locate in Ell Paso and build up our
smoke stack and dinner bucket indust-
ries
Most people who come here like Fl
Paso as a place of residence, largely
on account of our excellent climate
class. congenial people who make their
homes here
Opportunities ApIenty.
business in general has been most
excellent in FL Paso for the last few
years, Notwithstanding the Mexican
trouble and any man VINO Is Wloe
awake and invests his small capital
judiciousIy in FL Paso, will soon be IN
good financial circumstances.
To-day we can all look back five
and 10 years and see where we could
have made a small fortune had we
purchased this or that corner lot IN
FL Paso and the same conditions exist
today, and in five or 10 years, you VIII
see lust as great if not greater
changes than for the last 10 years
FL Paso is destined to be a large city
and no one can talk II down.
Prosperous Era.
"E1 Paso is now going through a most
prosperous era and its resources which
are greater than most cities of twice
its size, are just beginning to be real
lied and developed, FL Paso is now
the center of the greatest mining dis
%rfo in
brings in millions of dollars to our
for supplies of all kinds
It is also the center of the largest
stock raising district in America. Few
people realize this to be one OF the
best livestock markets in the United
States, especially for cattle, of all
kinds and in a very few years, as soon
as the Elephant Butte Dam is com
pleted and our rich valley lands are
put up into small farms, there will no
doubt be hogs enough raised around
FL PasO to bring the packing houses
here This we should encourage, as
hogs are very profitable.
Ell PasO's NaturaI Location
Geographically FL PasO is a natural
location for manufacturing interests
Of all kinds and. while we now have
q number of the largest manufacturing
Institutions in the country, as well as
great many smaller ones, yet our peo-
pie should give every possible en-
courag cement TO all manufacturing in
iustries that are now located OF that
may locate here We are so TAR away
from other manufacturing cities that
i takes too long a time to ship in
such articles as we need often and
quick. There are a number of differ
ent kinds of factories that would pay
well in FL Paso. We have as much
good, cheap labor and coal as most
places and besides our markets are the
best
Banks show Up Well
Our banks show up as well If not
better than most banks in much lar
ger cities and our merchants seem
to be making money most of them
started here on small capital and now
have q large business and are building
handsome residences for their families
This is a prosperous condition we
have never had what you would call
a boom, but real estate is always
active and gradually increasing in val
