0. w. Cotton of San Diego
 Says Phoenix Impresses Him as Town With Bright Future and in Need of
 Many More New Homes

1T C. W. Cotton, president of the Pa ct1ic Building company makes d report to his concern in San Diego anything like he talked in the Hotel Adams lob
 by last evening, it will mean that in the near future a branch of the big concern will he located in this city Ii will mean that d corporation with capitalization of nearly one million dollars will engage here in the opening o1 tracts of land, the erection of resi- dences and other structures, the opera ton of d blaming and sash and blind mill suitable to the needs of q large building concern and will in general cooperate with the active men and business houses of this section in the further upbuilding of this section.
 Seeking information first hand of q section of the country which he visited eight years ago and Of which he has since been hearing stories that ap- peared to him like the fairytales or schoOlboN days, MT Cotton has been two days in the valley and during tha, time has seen enough to convince him that the half has not been told
 And not alone as d seeker of infor- nation, came Mr. Cotton In exchange for what he has been learning here he has given out an announcement that to his positive knowledge the Spreckles road projected from san Diego to Phoenix is soon to be a reality. In fact. according to MT. Cotton, who says that he has 1t from MT. SpreckIes, there will be over $1.000,000 spent on this road construction within the next year and the entire line will be com pleted and in operation before the op- ening of the San Diego exposition.
 T have been taken all over the town since l arrived" said MT. Cotton last night. l have seen some of your or ange groves, I have learned of the vast supply of water you have back of the Roosevelt dam and I have seen your own thriving, growing city. l am con Vinced that there is great future here in Phoenix and l am sincerely in hope that We win be able to open a branch here.
 We do not confine ourselves to small projects Usually we buy up tracts suitable for residences. improve the property with sewers, lights, side walks and other necessary features. Then we build homes and sell these either for cash or upon long term con tracts We sell the lots with houses or 1 without just as the buyer desires. We will go outside our own tracts and 1 build homes upon payments on lots ] approved by our company.
 And from what I have seen l be- | lieve that Phoenix is a place for one of | our branches. The SpreckIes road will 1 make possible the successful carrying ! on of such d branch with San Diego | still our headquarters. IT will bring | Phoenix and San Diego within d com !! parativeIy short riding distance, the 1 trip to Los Angeles being l II makes the interests of 1 the two cities more in common. |
 T never was so much surprised in l town in my life. When l was here eight ! years ago I really didn't think much of 1 Phoenix. But l know now that my | judgment then wasn't good. I can say l that today Phoenix is the greatest lit 1 tie city in the world. l hope to see q branch of our company located here 1 soon"
 Today MT. Cotton will visit the board l trade, will go out to the diversion dam i and will also stop for a few minutes at 1 Mesa and Tempe. He expects to be in l Phoenix for perhaps two or three days !, more
