"The officials of the Imperial Val
ley are building good roads just as
fast as possible" said c. E. Cog
ging of the Coggins Garage, "and l
believe this is to become one OF the
finest automobile sections of Callfor-
MA"
During the past four years resi-
dent of the Imperial Valley and near
" all of this time in the automobile
business has qualified Mr.. Cogglns
to speak of the outlook for the mo-
torist in this locality.
Located in a brick structure, wltt
$500 square feet of floor space and
having the agency for the Buick
cars the Coggins garage is taking care
of its patrons in a manner thar
very satisfactory to the public The
Buick motor car is the one machine
that has more than withstood the
hard test that is required OF a car IN
this section and is one of the most
popular machines in the valley.
Keeping in the front with prog
ressive ideas the Coggins Garage IS
now CARRYING a large stock OF Buick
PARTS and is rendering the best pos
sibln service in all departments.
"The expansion of the automoblle
business in the Imperial Valley has
been wonderful" said Mr.. Cogglns,

+ions of the prosperity of the entire
locality"

Underwood & Murphy

"There is certain to be continu-
alton of the present excellent business
conditions in the Imperial Valley"
said A. J. Underwood of the firm of
Underwood & Murphy, pool hall man
ayers, "and I look for 1914 to be one
of the most prosperous years Ell Cen
tro has ever had"
A. j. Underwood and Thomas Muir
ply have been in Ell Centre for about
year and are thoroughly familiar
with the general business conditions
of the community. Both came here
from San Diego and are old time pool
hall and billiard men, and their sue
cess in this city is perhaps due to
the long experience in the same line
in their home city.
Messrs. Underwood G. Murphy re-
Gently purchased the Pioneer Pool
Hall on Main street with its ten
tables and equipment. The stand is
one of the best located in the city and
occupies a large room. The Palace

ment it seems to have transpired in a

formerly engaged in the wholesale
grocery business and last June pur-
chased the stock of house furnishings

the high standard of house furnish
ings demanded by the people of the
! locality.

located at 529 to 533 Main street and
the building occupied was recently
purchased by the firm. In addition

COmH4V

"The commercial -.lnding of the
Imperial Valley is on the strongest
basis said President George W. An
derson of the Imperial Valley Hard
ware Company, land it is keeping pace
with the agricultural development OF
the community"
A successful organizer and business
man man of the Valley, George W.
Anderson is quoted here as an au-
thority on the mercantile situation IN
the county. He has been an active
merchant in the Imperial Valley for
the last half a dozen years, and was
the founder of the original string OF
hardware stores operating under the
firm name of Anderson & Meyer Com
pany.
The present corporation has been IN

continuing the same aggressive policy
as it's predecessor. The officers OF
the company are: George w. Ander-
son, president; Howard P. Meyer, vice
president; Chas. Hersee, secretary and
general manager, and Warren CurrIer,
treasurer.
The Imperial Valley Hardware COM

the possibilities Of the future"

Cantaloupe Industry
Greatest in the World

.antaloupes have appeared on the
market.
At the height of the season it taxes
the CAPACITY of the railroads to move
the crop. The marketing is carefully
svstematized, the crop being so han
died as not to overstock the market
Trainloads of cantaloupes arc shipped
o the large eastern cities and there
broken up and distributed to the
smaller markets. Thus no market
IS overstoeked and every market is
reached at as little eXnense as posi-
hle. While the first melons bring fan
cv prices it is only a short time TILL
thev are found not only on the tables
Of the rich but in most of the house
holds where they both tempt the ap-
-etite and furnish health and vigoc.
So wholesome is the cantaloupe that
-.arsons with the most delicate stom-
achs may safely partake of them.
A cantaloupe field ready for the
pickers is beautiful sight. The de-
iicious beauties lie so close together
on the ground that it is almost impos-
sible to walk without stepping on
them. During the packing season the
folds ere scenes of great activity.
Many high school and college students
come to the valley to aid in the pick
ing. Hindus. Mexicans and japanese
are also employed.
The melons are packed in long
sheds to keen o ffthe rays of the sun.
Each melon is wrapped in tissue pa
per. similar to the method of the
orange packer.
The melons are carefully sorted as
to size. None over ripe or too green
are permitted to be packed. When
hacked in the refrigerator cars the
crates are carefully cleated to pre-
vent iamming and breakace. They
sre ttoroughly iced and cooled before
rtart:.iig ton their long journey. When
the later melons are shipped they have
to be iced as many as five to eight
times on TIE way. Though any one

have been esnecially successful III
their culture. Though the utmost car"
IS required in their culture and mar

True Vencill

"a problem Of gigantic proportions
is raised when the complete control
Ct the Colorado river is brought up,
said True Vencill. real estate broker,
"but am certain the time Is near
when this great stream OF water will
be under permanent control, and the
most productive Valley in the world
brought under cultivation with Its
unlimited possibilities"
Now in his ninth year IN the I'm
perial Valley, True Vencill is faHill-
lar with the opportunities and is en-
thusiastic for this great stretch OF
rich lard that lies adjacent to the
Colorado river. He has witnessed the
remarkable change that has taken
place in this locality under proper
irrigation and in spits of tremendous
difficulties, and is eager to see the
splendid work go on.
True Vencill is from the same To-
calitv in Northern Missouri that gave
to the Imperial Valley its greatest
and most enthusiastic pioneer, W. +:
Holt, and through the founder OF
El Centre was placed in the position
of cashier of the First National BANK
Mr.. Vencill has devoted most OF ms
time in this city to the handling OF
high grade ranch property and IN
1908 he subdivided the Vencill trac'
Of 100 acres, Ell Centro's first sub
division, which he followed later witt
the Cudeback ranch tract and the T.
Hogar tract.
He is the agent for some of the
most valuable ranches on the market
in the valley, and his sales have IN
cluded many of the finest properue::
N the county. His own ranch OF
1CO acres is considered splendid ex'
ample of the land possibilities Of this
section, and in addition to this he ha:
ether holdings in FL Centre.
Prospects for the building OF th'
railroad from San Diego are nov
very encouraging" said Mr.. Vencili
"and this is one factor that will be o.
incalculable benefit to the entire Va!
ley"
Imperial Valley press., 1914-03-28

Hundreds of acres of Imperial Va
ley cantaloupes arc already in bloom
the latter part Of March. The vines ar'
rapidly covering the ground. So ad
vanced is the season that it is eX'
pected shipment will begin to the east
ern market by May 20 or earlier.
Last years acreage of 1894 is IN
creased to S2O2 this year. The ship
ments for 1918 were $500 cars. This
wear under normal conditions, the
shipments will be 5000 cars. Canta-
loupes yield from $50 to $50 crates PEE
acre. If the average is IT'S crates per
acre the yield will be 1885, 500 crates,
The melons will average 90 to the
crate or a total Of 71,776,250 for the
crop. There are 324 crates or 1920
melons to the car.
The first melons bring fancy prices,
s4 to Sc per box. Throughout the
season they net the growers 40 to 90
cents per box. The amount realized
by the growers last year was approx
mately S575,000 net.
Usually it is the early melons that
bring the best prices. However, that
is not always the case. The best
price ever received in the valley for
cantaloupes was $4,000, which }.
Friedheim received for his crop on 80
acres near Heber. The melons were
shipped in July when everything else
was off the market.
Imperial Valley cantaloupes are
profitable not only because OF their
superior quality, but also because
they are on the market weeks before
melons can be had in any other part
of the country. The frost is hardly
out of the ground in the middle west
and the mornings are still 50. cold as
to make a fire necessary when ths
eastern family may have Imperial
Valley cantaloupes served for break
fast. So excellent is their favor that
they are preferred even after otnef

Ross & Stuart

"E1 Centre has one of the best
eouipped high schools in the state" "
said D. S. Ross of the grocery firm
of Ross 4 Stuart, "and the community
spent more than $4,000 to make 1t
modern throughout and of the high
est standard"
His residence in the city for the past
several years, and as rancher IN
the Valley for several years previous,
has brought D. S. Ross IN close touch
with the advancement of the communl
ty in general. D. S. Ross and j. Z.
Stuart are partners in one OF the
largest and most successful grocery
establishments in the Valley and 1t
IS growing with the city and locality.
Both partners came here from the
east and for five years Mr.. Stuart

nent of the Rumsey store, and is
.spable and experienced grocery man.
Mr.. Ross came here from Kentucky

reet. 1t is stocked with full line OF
staple groceries, fruits, vegetables
md the trade Of the store extends for
niles surrounding Ell Centre. There
ire a dozen men employed by the firm
and it is one of the exceptionally
| trong houses of the city.
Gel Centre is a thriving city and

ion," said Mr.. Stuart, "and the for
unate part of it all is, we are just
eginning to see the development ol
