Financing the Valley
Chamber CT Commerce

The necessity for financing the Low
er Rio Grande Valley Incorporated,
must be quite plain ID everyone who
has thought Of the subject. without
organization must die. There should
be no question in the mind ~ those
who first organ zed the Valley. incor-
porated. and who so enthusiastically
worked for its success in the beginn ng,
hat this good work for the ca.irc Val
ley should be kept up. The develop
ment of the material interests of this
land Of possib lities is bound 10 b. pro
NOTED greatly by the work of such an
organization. Since its inception. the
Valley organization has disseminated an
immense amount u Information regard
ing Valley resources. which doubtless
has been largely instrumental in bring
ing many investors here. Il would not
be extravaganza for this Valley a.
spend many times the amount required
20 ma ntain the Valley Incorporated
for the purpose Of securing such
publicity throughout the country. And
this is what the secretary Of the Val
ley. Incorporated. is doing constantly
for the entire valley. spread ny news
of its development. along with the story
of its wonderful possibilities.
II would be a great 10 stake TO dis
pense with this organization Ill this
stage of the Valleys development. The
present year already has been noted for
an enormous increase in the products
Of the Valley farms. The increase Of
one hundred per cent shipments of

this year has been advertised far and
wide through the instrumentality Of the
Valley. Incorporated. Secretary Sexton
has lost no opportunity to carry the
good news % the world The result of
this public Is will be invaluable 10
Valley interests. Perhaps some Of as
may not be able 10 realize all that this
means to every part of this Valley. be-
cause we do not See an immediate rush
~ investors coming in and buying land
or seek ng other investment. But the
results will be far reaching and extend
over long period This thing Of
publicity takes time to soak IN and 10
It's work II H. not like advert sing 4

Every section of the Valley shares i
the benefits or the work Of the val

should be willing to do its part TO he'll
in maintaining il. Let's stand by th'

If Valley people canno; hang together

Valley communities 10 stand togtthei

more effectively TO promote these com
mon interests than a Nallcy-wide or
