TO matter what conditions may
M affect other cities or nearby
i Y towns, San Antonio's business
inflow is always steady. She obtains
hundreds Of thousands annually through
her wholesale trade markets. With the
addition of manufacturing lines which
arc not made today in San Antonio, this
field partially developed, will be opened
to the city's merchants.
From North Texas, West Texas, East
Texas, South Texas and Mexico come
orders for goods. Yet this is but one
of many factors which foretell San An
tonio's greatness. San Antonio crockcry,
household furniture and glassware are
distributed here.
FoOdstuffs, canned and fresh, are
placed in hundreds of cities over the
Southwest. Chill especially is one Of
the greatest exports of the trade.
Workmen's clothing, bearing the city's
label, can be bought in New Mexico,
Kansas, Oklahoma and Montana. Dry
goods products of San Antonio cover
Texas from Brownsville TO the southern
boundary, to Louisiana on the east, Okla
homa on the north and Fl PasO on the
west.

Hotels Are FINEST

No city in the entire southland out
rivals the Alamo City as a convention
and recreational center. Since the day
Of the Indian Pow Wow San Antonio
the head of the picturesque San Antonio
river-has been the logical rallying point
for the great southwest.
San Antonio features her historical
points of interest and besides the Alamo,
the Missions and quaint Mexican build
ings. she has historic hotels. In many
of these stately structures fathers of
Texas and American independence, war
heroes and other famous patronages
have been guests. Winter seasons bring
symphony concert and grand opera plays
to be the guests of San Antonio and on
their programs appear: such artists as
Hoffman. Paderewski, Farrar, Gluck,
Werrenroth, Kreisler, Elman and others.
San Antonio's invigorating climate
and fine hotel facilities early attracted
the attention Of trainers of big league
baseball! organizations and master STRAIT

avOwed that San Antonio has the best
opportunities for training baseball play

A comprehensive program of outdoor

who demand the best in comfort and
convenience.
Scores of fine hotels and many others
OF less pretension but sufficiently luxur-

fastidious demands, and with continuous

Market Is Vast

Radio supplies, automobile equipment
and minor necessities are scattered about
the state from here Drugs and drug
sundries are made and sold from here.
Leather goods, harness, shoe mate
rails, saddlery and other hide products
are shipped from here annually, with
their valuation running into the hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars. Chill
dren's clothing and ladies' ready -tO-wear
garments are made here ard sold
throughout the world.
Yet only a very small part Of this
wonderful territory has been worked.
Millions of dollars lie within the grasp
of any progressive merchant who will
establish himself here.
San Antonio sits in the center of the
greatest stable development in process
in America, development and a pro
gram as sure as the sunshine. She has
passed the experimental stage and -
now on the road to real development.
San Antonio's immense farming area
has hundreds Of thousands of acres of
raw land which is fast being sold TO
colonizcrs and practical farmers. Most
Of this land is provided with natural
irrigation facilities.

very light.
A huge butterfly OF brilliantly col
ored SILK forms the lower part Of the
bodice and breaks the decided con-
trast between the light and dark
silks. giving a fantastic note to an
otherwise simple frock.
This illustrates the tendency to de-
part from the ordinary and stereo-

quality Of interest.
Novel Touch
In the other frock you see a fairly

The printed velvet in many shades
OF mauve is as soft as moleskin and
so supple in texture that it manipu-

SO decorative is the material that

The mun is coming back. Indian
apolis women have been seen walk
ing through the downtown streets
with their hands tucked away in
muffs of seal or mink.
Perhaps it Is because the woman
Of fashion found such comfort in
warm ankles protected with the ga
Josh that she is returning to the old
fashioned muff to hide her hands
from Jack Frost. Anyway, down
town fur stores report that they
are receiving many orders for muffs.
But the new muff is not the cum
bersome horse blanket pattern OF
our grandmothers' day. They are
small and rather coquetish. They
are carried by stylish women who
wear trim coats and jaunty hats.
Those in Indianapolis measure fif-
teen to seventeen inches around.
The muff has been especially popu'
lar with the goods at eastern foot
ball games where the air Is brisk
and penetrating. Young misses in
smart mink coats of straight lines
look distinctly smart carrying tiny
melon shaped mink muffs.
After all, the muff may not prove
to be only popular with the old-fash-
toned woman or the child, but 1t
may soon be transformed from the
heirloom TO the air protector. MI
lady always prefers warm hands to
cold ones.
