In speaking of climate, nature has
given US something different from
other places. No extremes strike
our territory. We are never shaken
by cyclone or earthquake. We do
not suffer from droughts. We have
enough bright sunshine, enough of
refreshing rain, enough heat, enough
cold, enough Of everything, and not
too much of anything.
Our range Of elevation is SO great
that we can produce the crops of
the north, wheat, oats, rye, buck
wheat, and the crops of the south
and west, sorghum. corn and cotton.
In the eastern panhandle, where the
soil is limestone and rugged, we have
orchards, thousands Of peach and

West Virginia has fine timber. We
have eight hundred thousand acres
of fresh timber. We have three mil

Sells Fourteen Additions Here.
In 1907 Mr.. Dickinson became a
resident of San Antonio. Since that
time he has placed fourteen additions
on the market. namely, Montclalre'
Breckenridge Place, Magnolia Addi-
ton. Rose Terrace, Jefferson Heights
Nos. 1, > and 3. Beverley Place.
Mount Vernon Place. Prospect Hill
Place. Maryland Place, Norland
Heights, Rose Terrace and Eastland
Heights. which is now being improved.
These subdivisions involve property
valued at about $1l000,0O0. Mr..
Dickinson says all of his additions
are equally successful. Uhis standard
is maintained, he says, because he is
exceedingly careful in selecting site
for his additions. He says the loca-
ton of a subdivision is its most i'm
portant feature TO be considered for
promotion. Values of property IN
every one Of Mr.. Dickinson's subdivi-
sions have increased steadily, making
investments in them safe. He has
placed improvements on every piece OF
property he has offered for sale here.
Is Self-made Man.
Mr.. Dickinson may safely be called
self-made man. His schooling was
limited to that of the grammar school,
which he finished when about IA years
old. Although Mr.. Dickinson says he
is n strong believer in educational IN
stitutions and says that his son will
have the opportunity to take advan-
tage of everything modern schools have
TO offer. he says he believes that a
young man should have actual bust
ness experience Ind come in contact
with he world.
The fact that Mr.. Dickinson has sold
more than S1.S00,000 worth of lots is
some hing 10 boast of but the fact that
he is 80 years old and his friends think
he is only 80 is something to be proud
of, too.
