J. A. Graham of San Benito last Sat
urday night telephoned an advertise
ment TO The Herald for the Sunday
morning issue.
AT $50 Sunday morning. when The
Herald had hardly gotten off the press
Mr.. Graham received long distance
telephone call from Brownsville in ans
wer to his advertisement.
And display advertising brings the
same prompt returns. judging IN the
experience Of II. l.. Huff Of the Tex
Mex Trading Company Of Brownsville.
The other afternoon Mr.. Huff annOun-
ced that he IL now grinding fresh corn
meal daily. Shortly after . o'clock on
the afternoon on which the advertise
ment appeared Mr.. Huff rec ived
telephone order from San Bcnito.
The moral: Use The Herald ad.
vertising columns. People rta ad them.
Two new advertisers made their az
pearance in The Brownsville Herald

Robert l. Faux of Br, wnsville. who I
$ sojourning al Kerrvlle. Texas. re- .
ports to The Herald that pathe News \
film shown 4 few days ago az that re- n
sort included what purported To ~ an N
airplane view of the recent Browns Y
Vile flood
The picture. Mr. Faux said, showed .
many houses surrounded IN water"
Gosh he continues. Brownsville \
must have a powerful Board of City I
Development and our folks must be I
awful liars to keep such news sup \
p rssed Some boosters for the Val n
l,v. I'm say"
This evidently. was the same pie Z
ture that was shown recently in Calf !
ornia.
pathe News undoubtedly has been inn
posed upon by some airplane photo
rapher. The Rio Grande recently was /
high. a normal condition in September 4
Gays. but if there was flood Browns
willie people seem to be the only ones
that never knew Of il.
Adolph Dittmann Of Brownsville. who /
j. seeing California with his family.
writes.
Glad to see the good judgment the
city commission used in letting the
parking ordinance die. There was no
need OF il as there j only one day
Saturday that the streets are some
what crowded. and then ears are park
ed in the adjacent residence streets.
"A parking ordinance that would
limit the farmer 70 less time than X
takes him to do his shopping would not
accomplish the purpose. TO benefit HIM
Extra traffic police would have been
nee, ssary to keep time on the cars
parked in the restricted district. All
