IN OUR
VALLEY

lFTf small enterprises OF one sort
or another were established in
Brownsville during 1925, according to
figures by John F. Dervin, secretary of
the Retail Merchants Association of
Brownsville
Some were real estate firms, some
were insurance agencies, some were
small industries. All supply liveli-

in Brownsville, and in every other
town in the Valley.

Lower Rio Grande Valley Some have

may have every possible advantage as
to position, but without leadership its
progress will be slow, if there is prog
ress at all.
1t isn't holding real estate that makes
it valuable. 1t is the constant turn
over. 1t is the turnover that puts life
and increasing value into it.
Among the towns in the Rio Grande
Delta that are making headway, let's
include Mission, one of the oldest and
most substantial cities of the district.
The Mission Times, in it's last issue,
announces important developments.
