INTERVIEWS

n N the Golden State limited that
arrived here Wednesday after
/ noon a returning FL Pasoan
made a careful count Of the passen-
| gers who read the Iirtle III Paso book
/ lets that have been issued by the cham
Der of commerce and placed IN inc
/ time table racks of the Pullmans. IN
/ four Pullmans and the observation
| car Al persons were counted and OF
! this number 80 secured copies of the
I booklet W. J. GoOdy, representing the
! GOOdy Machine company, of Chicago,
who was on the train bound for Los
! Angeles said: The form of advertis-
ing that Ell Paso has adopted is prob
ably the very best that could be de-
vised. At no time Will a man give his
undivided attention to anything in
UereSLng so much so as when he is Oh
a long train journey. He is weary OF
looking at the scenery and has read all
the current magazines. The Mexican
situation is pretty thoroughly threShe0
out by the time the New Mexico line is
reached and the Ell Paso booklets ap-
pear Just at time when they will re-
serve the closest attention. 1 think
that 1t is a safe guess to say that eV-
eryone who secured one of the book
lets read it from cover to cover"

oil mills, cattle yards and beef manu-

vision of this city 10 years in the fu-
ture The retiring president of the
Panhandle and Southwestern Stock
mems association was here Thursday to
be the guest of the chamber Of COM
merce at the monthly dinner
when this internal trouble is over
in Mexico this is going to be the great
est cattle center in the southwest Mr..
Slaughter said Thursday afternoon. i

City and I will say It wherever l go
for 1 believe it with all my heart. This
valley, when the dam IS completed, VIII
furnish the alfalfa necessary to fatten
hogs, without which no packing plant
can run successfully. There will be
hundreds of acres of cotton planted in
this valley after the water is secured,
and the cotton oil mills will be built
in this city. This viii make it possible
to have both range and feeding cattle
Instead of shipping cattle to Fort
worth and Kansas City to be killed II
will be possible to fatten and kill them /
right here at home. 1t takes 10 cars
to ship cattle, while one will carry
the meat product. The profit goes TO
the producer and manufacturer here at /
home. In 10 years this Will be the /
greatest cattle city of the southwest |
and I predict great things or FL Paso- /
I wish I could come here to live, but /
my home is now in Dallas"
In addition to being one Of Texas /
greatest cattIemen, Mr.. Slaughter y 4

Of hard work for FL PasO to put this
