THE GROVES" in MOVIES
AND PORT ARTHUR. TEXAS
SEE THEM IN NEW THEATRE
Thursday and Friday Nights-Other
Interesting Texas Scenes are to
be Shown on the Screen

We have done extensive advertising
of Port Arthur, Texas, and the GRO
YES" during the last year. We have
sold thirty people FIVE and ten acre
tracts of our orchards. Every visitor
with US to Port Arthur has purchased
tract of land and has come home and
recommended it to their friends. This
Is as strong an Endorsement as one could
ask of the merits Of 1.-THE GROVES. -
and il is with pride that we can refer
to SC many good and intelligent people.
There are reasons why 1.-THE GROVES"
are of more than ordinary consequence
Land values are made by conditions
that surround them. First, we have
two large industries that employ thous-
ards of men, and the capital stock of
those two industries could not be bought
today for $500, 000. 900 This is all in
sight of THE GROVES, only three and
one half miles away. We have the
greatest port or the gulf coast Port
Arthur is fast growing eity-in 1910
it was Z, 600 people. and it now is &c.
600. with payroll in 1914 of $500, coo
per month. Since November it has in
creased to nearly S400, 900 per month.
All this tends to make big land values.
Our orchards have interurban rail-
way service and deep waterway, all
within ten minutes walk, and shell roads
as fine as our asphalt streets extend to
our orchards. This, with soil as rich as
you have ever seen, needing no fertil-
izer, with plenty of rainfall to produce
three or four crops Of vegetables year,
and with home market for everything
that you can produce, it makes THE
GROVES" the best investment and place
for the best home where you can livein
luxury from tract of ten acres, of any
place we know in the south. Beaumont,
Texas, is only fourteen miles north, and
is fast growing city of 80, 900 people.
We want you interested in the Wis
consil Colony of THE GROVES" On
Thursday and Friday of this week Port
Arthur will be seen in the movies at
Viroqua's new moving picture theatre,
and you will be able to get good idea
of the city and its surroundings. Dc
not fail to see this picture.
Remember that our orchards are pc
can, zig and peach trees, that they are
now four years old, that in 1917 they
are to be turned over to our customers
and will be producing on paying basis.
They will be cared for under co oper-
alive plan, under the direction of Grit
fing Brothers, the Oldest nursery people
in the Gulf Coast, who have planted
these orchards, cared for them up to
this point and are as such interested in
the welfare and success Of 1.-THE
GROVES" as any purchaser will be-
The statement made by Griffing Broth
ers In their bulletin Of 1915 is 'tAN ACRE
OF FIvE-YEAR OLD COMBINATION or
SATSUMA ORANGE AND PECAN GROVE Is

been offered for home or for an in
