The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-11-26

In 1S41 when that hardy pioneer, John
Bryan, scratched his head, shifted his sus-
penders and selected as his home camp on
the upper reaches of the Trinity, naming it
after George M. Dallas, former Vice Pres
ident of the United States, he builded bet
ter than he knew. Keeping step with the
development of the Southwest, Dallas has
grown from a sprawling village to city
with skyline which Golfers Weekly says
is outclassed only by that of New York; a
city supreme in its territory in commerce,
finance and industry, and one which lead
ing authorities claim is destined to rank
among the greatest and largest inland cit
les of the Nation.
Let the Federal Census figures Justify
the wisdom of Mr.. Bryan's choice:

is twenty-sixth among cities of the United
States in postal receipts and eighth in the
payment of money orders. Eighty-four per
cent of the people of the Southwest can be
reached from Dallas by mail in twelve hours
or less.
Miles and miles of wire and steel center
ing at Dallas speak for the efficiency of the
city's distribution facilities Dallas is South
western headquarters for the Western
Union and Mackay Telegraph Companies
and the Southwestern (BelD Telephone
Company. Three hundred and seventy tele-
graph circuits out of Dallas put the job
bers, wholesalers and manufacturers of the
city into direct and immediate communica-
ton with retailers and consumers Radiat-
ing from Dallas, 1876 long distance telephone
circuits reach out in all directions. Within
the city are 10000 telephones, giving Dallas
what is claimed to be the gratest telephone
development per capita of any city in the
world.
Dallas, Railway Center.
Eight trunk lines steam railroads radiate
from Dallas S6,5O0,0O0 terminal station in
twenty-seven directions. Four electric in
terurban lines with a total of 252 miles
center at Dallas, operating 1856 electric
trains daily to and from Dallas $2,000,000
interurban station The Dallas-Wichita Falls
interurban, with length of 142 miles, has
been surveyed, and there is every prospect
that it will be under construction within
less than year.
Testifying to the Importance Of Dallas as
the business center of the Southwest, there
were 7,O15,S67,S4 pounds of freight and
express originating at Dallas or consigned
to this city during 1919. These figures in
clude the freight and express business of
steam and electric freight lines, but do not
take into consideration the rapidly growing
tonnage of motor truck freight lines.
Dominating Wholesale Market.
The value of business in the leading
wholesale and jobbing lines in Dallas for the
twelve months ending July l, 1920, was
$543, 594, 900, according to survey recently
completed by the Dallas Automobile Deal
ers' Association, in cooperation with the

BANK clEARIN6S

Dallas bank clearings during 1919, in
creased more than 500 over 1918, and were
500 greater than those of any other city
in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District.
Dallas ranked third among the cities of the
United States in increase in National Bank
deposits between Nov. II, 1919, and Dec.
81, 1919, with only New York and Chicago
showing greater increases.
Recognition of Dallas as the logical finan-
cial center of the Southwest was given by
the Government in locating here the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of the Eleventh District.
This bank has outgrown its quarters and
is now rushing to completion its palatial
new $1,500,000 home.
Three new banks have opened in Dallas
since the first of the year: The Guaranty
Bank & Trust Co., a day and night" bank;
the Liberty State Bank, and the Dallas Ma
tional Bank. Two Dallas banks recently
have purchased "skyscraper" homes and
will move into them later. One of these
structures is the Southland Hotel building,
which will be enlarged to twelve stories.
1O0x200 feet, making it perhaps the largest
bank and office building in the Southwest.
The home of another Dallas bank, in ST.
100000, twelve-story office building under
construction, is now being occupied.
