VALLEY SCENES TO Be IN MOVIES


the approaching presidential campaign
at home
Never before in the history of this
country has money been so plentiful
and, If this condition does not lead TO
recklessness and overeNpansiOu, il
would appear that the whole United

lag behind"

The prosperity Of FL EasO's terri
tory, brought about by the mining
activity and the favorable conditions
surrounding the cattle industry, has
been responsible for El Pasos great
prosperity during 1915. The conditions

surrounding FL PasO."

F. n Murchison, active vice presi-
dent Texas Bank & Trust company
The year 1916 Will be as good as
1915, if not better unless all signs fail
The merchants of the city have all
made money during the past year and
were never in better shape than right
now Money is easy, because OF the
low interest rates charged for eastern
money. New people are coming in al

dustries are in prosperous condition.
There is really nothing now on the
horizon that would indicate a change
from present conditions Building ~ III

the year 1915 looks exceedingly bright
for FL PasO."
Copper Is High.

Bank & Trust ompany-"Copper is
high and cattle are high. and both
contribute TO the prosperity OF FL
