The Val Verde Mercantile corpora

year under the leadership Of Mr.. iiln-
sen, has built one of the largest pack
ing plants in the Valley at 4 COS. OF
more than $4,000, on the Gulf Coast
line about a mile and a half wes' Of
Donna. Early in December this plant
was leading the Valley in the number
of gears of fruit shipped and. accori-
ing to Mr.. Hansen, would ship not less
than 100 cars during the season. The
plant has a capacity of six ears Of
fruit per day and is equipped with
electrical washing. polishing and sort
ing machinery, and big sweat rooms.
A pre-cooler is to be installed.
The building is a succeed brick
structure of the mission type of archi-
lecture, 125 feet long and rs feet wide.
This is the first of a number of such
plants to be built by the corporation,
Mr.. Hansen said. The next will be erect

and will be located in the lower end of
The corporation which OWNS the pack
ing plant also is to build and operate
a garage, filling station and big general
merchndise store near the packing
plant.
The corporation is using the "Sure-
sweet" trade mark, copyright by Mr..
Hansen for his own product, on all
fruit shipped by it.
Country Club Planned
Another corporation in which Mr..
Hansen is interested is the Val Verde
Country Club, Incorporated for 100000

of Donna on a beautiful 35 acre tract.

and no club dues will be charged.
Plans of the club at present do not
include a golf courses but this will be
added later, according to Mr.. Hansen,
and will be located about a mile and a
half south Of the club house site.

swimming pool will be one of the best
in the Valley and will cost $500.
Stock in the Country Club has been

them a modern place to stay when they
arrive in the Valley while their homes

These are the things that impress everyone who comes
into the Magic Valley Of the Rio Grande. Not SO many
years ago, where now thriving towns stand, only mes
quite brush and q few huts stood. Citrus fruit was not
grown, except perhaps IN the back yards of a few of the
early homes. To grow cotton successfully was consid-
cred an impossibility. A few canals were in evidence;
good roads were not thought of.
In ten years a most remarkable growth has taken place.
Good roads have been built. Hundreds Of acres of orang-
es and grapefruit trees yield hundreds of thousands of
dollars annually to their owners. Good homes, sound
business institutions, churches and hospitals now serve
the best interests of all the communities.
Such rapid development has been brought about by men
of vision, men who had confidence and were willing to
give of their own money, when called upon, to build up
the land where they had cast their lot.
The spirit of cooperation and good fellowship, the great
desire to build the Magic Valley into virtually an empire
that can stand alone, has welded the different towns and
communities into such a unit that this territory stands to-

denced by the H~arlingen Fair which represents the entire
Valley as a unit.
The Corpus Christi Hardware Company has lived, to q
degree, with the hardware and automotive dealers
through the early days Of the development of this rich
Valley, and has grown as these dealers have grown. Its
business, starting with only a small stock of merchandise,
has increased its stock as the demand has grown and its
desire has been and shall be to give its customers the kind
of service they deserve. And while We are working to
improve this service, we shall strive to keep pace with
the march of progress of our great Southwest.
With the completion of the Port of Corpus Christi will
come a prosperity that will help to enrich the entire
Southwest and give the Valley even a greater outlet for
her products, and bring in the goods she buys at a lower
cost.
What is good for Corpus Christi is good for the Valley.
What is good for the Valley is good for Corpus Christi.

There is not a single organization in
the entire field which would take it
upon itself to really take the side of
the technical worker in helping him

The engineering work, exactly the

other branches of work is that the
elementary tasks of an operator in

EFT 1t be understood from the start
- that have the highest regard for
Gorky's talents and personal charac-
ter. / believe he has done much work
towards paving the way for the prole-
tartan revolution. His novels and
plays take first place in the forward
movement before the World War
Never has more stirring short story
been penned than "Chefkash;" more
vivid picture of the lowest slums
painted than "a Nights Lodging" a
truer novel Of pre-revolutionary days
in Russia than Mother" or a more
realistic drawing done of the Cars
secret police than "The Spy" Besides
all these he has distinguished himself
above all contemporaries in his vari-
GUS photographed works and semi
histories. Truly it can be said that
no man today occupies a more envi-
able place in letters than that now
held by Russia's greatest novelist,
Maxim Gorky.
But / am sorry to say literature has
no proper place in the proletarian
revolution. The exploited workers
have no time and no leisure to occupy
themselves over dreams and dream
ers. Beyond the exhausting efforts to
make living they have little energy
left for the finer things of life. They
must leave art, science, music, and lit
erature to the bourgeoisie, and con-
