Me They have no fear in NoEales OF
any autf-Amerlcanism in Mexico
They know that most OF the anti

What Fl Paso Is to the international

prosper through its trade with the
western part OF northern Mexico.
Noeales is the commanding border
city west OF the Sierras- The names
Fl Paso and NOgales VIII be linked
leo: both will experience goodly
share Of the prosperity Of Mexico.
Mexico Helps Nogales-
NoEales is today feeling the re-
sumption Of peace in Mexico. Nogales
is doing a big business with Mexico,
and il is going 20 do a bigger one.
The development Of Mexico has but
started and Mexico has no richer nor
more advanced section than the So
nora country Then. there is Topic
south and east Of sonora. with It's
Va st trouical wealth. All Of this Is TO
be poured out into the States through
Nogales and that great region VII
draw its supplies from the United
States through Nogales-
Why shouldn't Nognles EroVFf
Who can keep NOEales from
EroyFinEf It can't be done
NoEales has grown rapidly, even
during the ten years OF warfare IN
Mexico because Sonora never SUI
fered by as complete paralysis OF It's
industries as other sections OF Mex
leo
but the growth OF NOEnIes the
last ten years was buf n shadow
Of what the world iH going to see
during the next ten.
NoEales registered 5l99 Inhabitants
on the government counting machine
in the last census; Santa Cruz county
scored with q little over 1900
After Passport Restrictions.
Nogales is growing because OF
Mexico, but not wholly because or
Mexico. Much OF II is due to its en-
terprising people, and IL has many
hardy pioneers and many newer ar
rivals who are hard workers and tull

Dave Loeb. author OF the move,
former Fl Pasoan, now owner OF one
Of the biggest stores in Nogales-the
Ponular-and owner OF considerable I
real estate besides, said
why should the United states PEN

his money with usZ Why should We
discriminate between the man who
lives 40 miles from the border and
the man who lives Il miles2 We do
We permit the man who lives 40 miles
from NoEales, or FL Paso. TO cross TO Z
this side on a border permit card, Z
which costs him nothing 70 secure Z
