portion of the city. plans to COM
mence construction in the early part
Of 1922 of a new office building which

Long Growing Period
Climatic conditions which we en-
JOY and which are second to none
anywhere to be found during nine
months of the year, give US a grow
ing season in the Salt River valley
which is almost continuous. The
farmer of the north and middle west
who IS frozen up six months OF the
year, located frequently where roads
are impossible during the large por-
tion of this time, should be, and is,
attracted to the possibilities and COM
fort of farming life in this valley
where good roads, good schools and
climatic conditions are unsurpassed
To the man who wishes to escape the
rigors of the eastern winter, Phoenix
and the Salt River valley are most
attractive, the air is invigorating, the
people are delightful, facilities for
golf and other forms of outdoor exer-
else are all that can be desired, and
the Salt River valley offers to him
wonderful opportunities for rest and
recreation. The health seeker is at
tracted by climatic conditions
throughout the southern portion Of
the state, and many who have re-
gained their health and strength in
sunny Arizona sing its praises. The
natural resources of this great state.
which is peopled by real men and real
women, offer to the newcomer great
possibilities for investment, and those
of us who are fortunate enough to
live here should be happy in the
thought that we have met our prob
lens like real men and that the fu-
ture holds much for us.
