"El Paso has shown wonderful adj
vancement and growth since was here
a year ago." said James Bronson, of
Joplin, Mo. There are few, If any,
cities in the middle west where the
growth has been as rapid. Ell Paso ap-
parently has not been affected by the
European war as most Of the middle
west and eastern cities have. There
seems to be more business now going
on in Ell Paso than many eastern cities
of twice the population. The city is also
deriving as much free publicity IN the
eastern newspapers as any city IN the
arNfar rG.rs,
all filled with accounts Of the FL Paso-
Phoenix road race and 1 have been
reading many articles about the Ele-
plant Butte dam. These advertisements
have every person in the east asking
about Ell Paso."
The outlook is very bright for the |
cattlemen of the southwest at this /
lions are that there will be no further
lighting in northern Mexico and the !
cattle industry of that section of the 4
country, which has been greatly AFFECT I
ed, will again prosper. The northern |
states of Mexico are among the finest /
cattle producing sections in the cOun- /
try. Because of the revolutions the in (
dustry has suffered and much of the .
stock driven off and killed but now that (
peace is soon to be restored large ship
ments of cattle from Mexico will be
made through Ell Paso and other cities f.
along the border"
