FLPASO NEEDS MORE FACTORIES
TO INSURE HEALTHY GROWTH

" THAT FL Paso viii be ten years from now depends
w whether FL Paso gets factories. Every thing
else that can be done VIII make II Paso grow
steadily but slowly Nothing else makes any town great
surely factories. Factories what we need and
must have to make this city grow rapidly and prospeous
Inc east mas thousands on Jhousanas OF I@cUlles' Is
literally full Of factories, and being built with
every month that passes The is helping; It IS creating
market IoI pIoaucls more vast ll4l ever "SLe
of IN time Of peace because the activities Of half the world
would have been turned into direction and the sources
Of supply OF large part OF that han the word mas Deen
off from In instances orders are
secured first and the factories built and machinery installed
later would astonlsh anyone TO see how Tapoy lnsI
work be done when the orders have been booked
So factories sprngllng up every day through
out the east SOUTH north Munitions factories fac
tories which make some one part Of a shell automobile
factories factories for making motor trucks to I'll war
Contracts saddle and harness factories shoe factories
cotton and wooden mills and factories for making clothing
Every Of these in an probability permanent
business which VIII last after the IS over because
American manufacturers have had their eyes opened and
having control Of most Of the markets Of the world now
learning the and Of world trade and pre-
pairing to hold it after peace comes.
Every one Of these factories the employment Of
Labor most Of which usually has to be brought from some
where else. Every means weekly seml-monthly or
monthly payrous, the most solid soundest foundation
which a city be built
There is nothing ike the payroll It be counted
On If releases IN the community certain sum Of gold
coin silver dollars and currency at definite intervals That
keeps business thrifty keeps money going into the banks
md into fbe s+o-es sd offices. kesus money in the house
hold and the street It is the HfeblOod Of the com
munity and the Of 1t the better For while In an
individual too much blood is about undesirable and
money life gveT in any town, for the more money orcu-
lates in the arteries Of trade, the more the town grows
to accommodate it. Growth restores normal circulation
and the accumuang process accompanied by expansion
There to mind town not 500 miles from FL Paso
which has little IN the way Of Payros except railroad
shops and Offices When payday releases flood Of money,
the springs TO life ike flower frightening after
shower As the last payday reces IN the distance, the
town becomes dull Istess What II needs IS enough
payrolls TO keep up a steady flow Of money
FL PasO doesn't need payrolls to keep the city from
growing dull Present Of income fully adequate
10 keep FL Paso healthy condition and the increase
enough provide for slow growth But to and
grow rapidly increasing the population by 25 or 50 percent
every few years, must have that which makes towns
grow rapdly-faCtories.
The sooner this Is realized and everyone-not just
handful Of bankers and leading business men, but every
one-puts the task squaIely up to himself and applies
himself to helping out with It, the sooner the factories
vii come. We have enough Of them TO Prove their
feasibility this city, despite fuel COSTS freight rates
distances Of transportation and everything else Manu-
factories here and where factories more be
accommodated
We have the finest white pine district the continent
the vicinity Of MADEIRA, Chihuahua What IS the matter
with furniture factories here, and match factory? Or
toothpick factory for making certain grades of
pencils? This southwest produces large part Of the
countrys cattle and thousands Of them slaughtered
within radius Of 600 miles Of FL PasO Why not boot
and shoe factory when the United States government
alone the market for 100000 pairs Of shoes? News
paper dispatches few days ago told Of someone here IN
the southwest making business OF killing wild burrOs
for their hides They must have some commercial value
