CITY Is ALREADY
BIG TRADE CENTER.

Leaving statistics out Of the
matter entirely" Pumeroy cOntin-
ued, let us consider the growth of
industry and of population which
gave the trade area of last year A
larger absorptivc power than it
ever had before The trade area of
Dallas will be larger this year than
it was last year. Another favoring
circumstance is to be found in the
number of wholesale institutions
that have their home in Dallas.
Dallas. because of the diversity and
the number of its wholesale houses
will not only attract trade from
larger sphere, but will get larger
percentage of the trade of that
sphere in which it has already es
tablished itself Another fact that
must operate to facilitate this prof.
ect is that the farmers have a much
larger percentage Of last years
crops on hand than ever before.
Their buying power is potentially
much greater now than it has ever
been at this season. with the result
that this years prosperity will be
swpIled by it's inheritance of some
of the deferred prosperity of last
year"

The application. according to

leaseholds at scoops. From an
other sources the Commissioner
says he learns that the cost OF
