portunities advertising now being done
by the San Antonio Chamber are being
sent to all chambers of commerce in
South Texas and these in turn follow up
these inquiries by letters and addition
al literature setting forth the almost un-
countable opportunities in agricultural,
livestock, poultry and fruit raising in
this great, partially developed Empire of
South Texas.
From a membership of approximately
1000 in 1918, the strength Of the San
Antonio Chamber of Commerce has adj
vanced steadily until at the present time
every outstanding business man in the
city is a member, and a great maturity
take their share of responsibility in
shaping the program Of the organization
for the welfare of San Antonio.
Among the outstanding achievements
of the San Antonio Chamber of Com

toned the following:

Gulf Coast lines merger in an effort to

Community Development Well Organized

protect San Antonio from a continual ton
of policy which has resulted in dis
elimination against wholesale and job
bling interests of this city for the past 10
years, in favor Of Houston, and which
has heretofore precluded San Ant0nio's
fair participation in the trade of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley. This oppo-
sition was carried to the Interstate
Commerce Commission with the result
that the merger was sanctioned only
upon condition that both lines be admin
istered by trustee or purchased by the
Missouri Pacific System, thus preserv-
ing to this city, direct trunkline connec-
tons to end the discrimination hereto
fore practised by the Gulf Coast lines.
Prevailed upon the Southern Pacific
railway to begin action for the extension
of the s. A. & A. p, from Falfurrias
into the Lower Rio Grande Valley, thus
giving San Antonio a direct rail line
into this fertile and rapidly developing
section, and providing an outlet to new
consuming markets for Valley products,
and providing competitive railroad facil-
tiles for that section.
Secured ten-day stop-over privileges for
tourists, both summer and winter, on all
through railroad tickets.
Secured through sleeping cars between
the Lower Rio Grande Valley and San
Antonio. Secured the Reinstatement of
set-out sleeper from New Orleans to San
Antonio; succeeded in having population
figures in railroad time tables shown
correctly, thus keeping San Antonio first
in population in Texas.
Added more than 600 members during
the past year.
Brought about removal Of state and
federal crop marketing and reporting bu-
reau from Austin to San Antonio where
market and crop reports are broadcast
by radio and telegraph reports are sent
out five times each day by the Associat-
cd Press to all parts of the United States
and same reports are sent through CO.
operation of United States army at Fort
Sam Houston to Brownsville and border
stations where reports are copied and
mailed TO growers and shippers inter-
ested.
Aided establishment here of federal
and state labor bureau which last year
handled more than 10000 laboTers in

a \ aggressive cooperative program
~ of community development, pro.
mulgated and supported by
300 San Antonio business men, MEM
bers of the Chamber of Commerce and
acting through that organization, has
made the San Antonio chamber the larE-
est in Texas in point of membership, i'll
personnel and in number of departments,
and is equipped to handle city's business
of any similar organization in the state.
The Keep San Antonio First in
Texas" campaign launched last October
included in its work, not San Antonio
alone, but all towns and communities in
South Texas tributary to the Alamo
City. That this enlarged scope of &C.
tivity of this chamber is bearing results
and is appreciated by San Antonio's
neighboring communities is already being
evidenced by the increasing activity in
development and building now going on
throughout South Texas, writes Fred
VI. Herndon. publicity secretary.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Bonds for Small Investors.
Suppose before going any further
we summarize the ground already
covered in the present series. 1t has
been shown that bonds are safer in
vestments than stocks. in that they
nave the first claim upon earnings
that a. secured bond is better than or
unsecured when both are obligations
OF the same borrower; that the ma
ture of the property on which a bond
| IS mortgage is of prime importance
, that, although real estate is gener
ally the best form of security. many
other kinds of property are pledged
and that sometimes this is fully as
valuable as real estate. and, finally
that the record of the borrower as tc
ability and willingness to meet his
obligations is another essential to an
intelligent appraisal of the investment
status of a bond.
1t has also been pointed out that
corporations vary widely in their prac
tice of making available to the ordi
nary investor information about their
operations and that the rule Is that
the securities of nationally known
companies offer the best opportunities
to the inexperienced investor.
Now let us apply what we have
learned to the problem which we start.
ed with, the investment of the pro-
ceeds of a widows insurance policy
The first conclusion is that the bulk
OF the fund, or all of 1t unless it is
large, should be put into bonds, and
that these bonds should be issues well
and favorably known the country
over. This point needs a little addi-
tional emphasis. 1t is an old maxim
that speculation is safer when it is
based on general rather than on spe.
cial information. 1t Is the same with
investment. Securities do not come
to be generally recognized as safe and
desirable without good basis for the
common opinion.
So a widow does we'll to select for
her initial investments bonds which
have an established reputation and
not those which are simply well
thought of in her own home town or
by her particular adviser. The Sc
curity she buys must command re.
spect equally in one part of the coun-
try as in another and equally by one
banker as by another There are ad-
vantaGes to this course aside from
conservatism. 1t makes for market
ability. but that is a minor matter
The real reason is that safety leads
that way.
