brook is On the main line, and is the
natural outlet for this particular dis
trict. If proper developments are
carried out, this city should become
one of the greatest industrial centers
of the west. What We need most at
present is favorable weather condi-
tiOns for a series of years, as we are
now dependent upon the livestock in
dustry to a great extent.

consecutive years, is the above con-
Germ, established originally here in
1884 During this time the Company
has shown an almost phenomenal
growth, albeit one that has been fully
merited, and today this institution
has behind it an achievement in sue
cessful merchandising of which its
directing personnel may well be
pardoned for being proud.

Mr.. Adolph Schuster is President,

time between his different interests.

with the enterprise are firm believers
in the future of this section of Ari-
zona, and wish to be quoted as boost
ers. Mr.. r. P. Schuster said: when
the sheep and cattle industry comes
back to normal conditions, things
will be prosperous. The sheep in
dustry is coming back fast, but there
has been no appreciable change for
the better in the cattle industry. The
cattle industry requires good range
and market conditions. Locally, we
need a continuance of the present
program of progressiveness and ex-
