IN OUR
VALLEY

concerns OUTSIDE bue puI
VINO are dealing with Valley concerns,
in. the upbuilding of the Valley. asks
County Judge Oscar c. Dancy.
The county judge has drawn up a
letter 'rhich he proposes TO have printed
and which he suggests Valley concerns
,~.u o.. wltn remlttances to their
manufacturers or other concerns that
they represented
Here is Judge Dancy's letter:
You are dealing with Cameron
county or its people, or desiring to so
deal. If dealing, presumably you are
making a profit. If you render the
right kind Of service you are entitled to
profit, and we want you to receive it..
DO you want to increase that busi-
ness and that profit?
If so, help us develop. Our possi-
bilities are hardly scratched. This
Valley could support the present popu-
lation of all Texas and still have room
to grow.
More good people need the Valley.
Help US get the two together.
"Now here is what you do. The next
time you or yours, or your agents and
servants take a vacation in either sum-
mer or winter, come to the Valley.
See for yourselves. Then tell the
folks-just tell the truth-that's all.
Now look at the map.
We are not at the end of the rain
bow but we are sure at the south end
Of the good old\U. S. A.
We are farther south than Miami.
We are more than 500 miles farther
seuth than Los Angeles.
Get thisi There are only three
places on the mainland of the U. S. A.
Where the sunshine spends it's winter
and this is one of the three and the last
to be developed.
This Valley is also the place Where
the gulf breezes spend the SUMNER and
with the construction Of tourist hotels
now financed, will soon start to rival
Florida and California for the tourist
business.
Watch my prediction. The develop
ment of this Valley by 1880 will astound
the whole United States.
Don't you want to get in on the
ground floor. Come and see."
AL Parker went to Florida He saw
great country. He saw tourists by
the countless thousands.
He returned to the Valley with
vision. He believes in the Valley, in its
fu ure. He feels that it can be made
all that Florida is, size Of territory con-
sidered, and then some
There is now reported as engaging
his attention a great resort for the
Lower Rio Grande Valley
If his plans develop, says this report,
he will have in this resort tract of
some 1900 acres located on the Laguna
Madre and near the south side of the
mouth of the Arroyo Colorado.
The plans have in view the expend-
ture of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, possibly millions.
They inclde great hotel, it is said.
There will be hunting and fishing.
Millionaires and less-than-m million
aires will be attracted.
Take it from US, the Lower Rio
Grande Valley has hardly begun to
grow.
Now is the time to buy lots, in
Brownsville, in San Benito. in Har-
iingen, in La Feria, in Mercedes, Wes-
laco. Donna, San Juan, Pharr, McAllen,
Mission, Edinburg Alamo, Raymond
vile, Lyford, Lasara, and every other
place in the Lower Rio Grande Valley
that we may have failed to mention
Thirteen thousand carloads of truck
were shipped last season. 10000 bales
of cotton are being harvested right now
Next year there will be 10000 car
loads Of truck, barring unforeseen hap
penings such adverse weather or
unsatisfactory markets.
This is going to be great country,
down here in the toe of Texas Judge
Dancy is very mild in his statements.
