Of the same kind and make success
OF it. The entire menu was donated

mission men, the ice cream, cakes and
mint waters were made in the town,
the coffee was roasted and ground
there, the cigars were made there and
the invitations and menu cards were
printed by Quincy printers Everything
was donated. 1t was real home IN
dUstry' banquet that was good ad-
Vertisement for the city and an affair
that informed the home people in
strcng terms, Just what good things
! they could buy, made in their own
home. 1 believe Ell Paso could get up
even a more elaborate menu than the
quincy folk
These lutte wax figures have had
. the greatest Christmas sale of any
| thing IL our shop" said Frank Spencer,
manager OF the Harvey CuriO shop ut
| the union station. They are made n
/ II Pas and are advertising this city
all over the country Senior vargas,
who makes them at his home in East
FL Paso, is working night AMI day to
fill the demand. We have sold more
than $3.50 worth Of the little statu-
| tettes and wax figureas. we had so
I many inquiries about them and now
/ they were made that we finally had a
! large number of copies made of the
/ articles which appeared in The Herald,
! telling Of the old Mexican and his art
| work One of these is enclosed in
! each package we ship out and one man
| bought $3.50 worth in one order the
! other day to send to the east. These
! little wax figures are becoming as
j well known as the small straw FL Paso

"The collector is determined to break
up this smuggling gang which has beer
! carrying on a systematic business OF
I
penter, deputy collector Of customs
The automobile men are being useC
| as dupes in these operations and We
have been inclined to be lenient be
cause many of them made their living
with the autos. But we believe nov
that the drivers, some OF them at least
know what is being done when thei1
car is used to bring goods from Mexico
and we propose to make al example
1 of a few Of them in order TO stop the
| petty smuggling operations.

] Then, when we were all attended to
