DENY BRIDGE FIRMS
INJUNCTION REQUEST

There is no monopoly on building
international bridges across the Rio
Gralde between Eagle Pass and
Piedras Negras, according 10 a DO
cisiOn handed down by the Fourth
Court Of Civil Appeals.
The Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras
Bridge Company sought to restrain
the Texas-Coahuila Bridge Company
from constructing a pontoon bridge in
competition with the one operated by
the complaiDlnt. The case was heard
in the district court Of Maverick
county, which denied the injunction.
The case was appealed 10 the Fourth
court, which affirmed the finding Of
the lower court.
The appeals court held that the
complaining company has no exclu-
sive franchise 10 operate a bridge at
Eagle Pass, that it had no rights in
the matter and was without the
right to an injunction.

The Real Credit Men
Investors of the Nation Are Responsible for Many
Failures Because They Do Not Cues
ton Probabilities Enough
BY ELWOOD LLOYD

"The sanity Of q buyer would be
gravely questioned If he contemplate
cd onening n fur store in one of the
Seuth Sea islands. or if he proposed
TO sell summer garments in some
freezing region of Alaska. Modifying
these extreme Illustrations, the pros
poets of success are not much better
when a business is opened up in To-
cation where it is not needed and
there is not the slightest chance of Sc
curing the necessary volume of sales.
"A survey of business locations,
particularly in large city, will clear
lv reveal how many enterprises are
i'll placed and have failure staring
them in the face. Among the ques-
tions asked of those embarking upon
a new enterprise, none is more import
ant than about the location of the en-
terprise and its surroundings. We
may feel entirely satisfied as to the
capital staked on the venture, of the
character back of the enterprise but
if the location is not adopted and the
proper volume of business unlikely to
be obtained, then the capital would
seep away and character will not pre-
vent the wreck. -
Successful merchandising depends
upon the ability TO secure proper
patronage. The goods on the shelf
will not turn into profits of them
selves. They must be exchanged for
the coin of the buyer, and only in
proper turnover will the overhead and
reasonable profits be protected.
"The food products group of the At
lanta Association of Credit Men make
it their business TO counsel with new
enterprises as to their location, and TO
refuse sales to those who were set upon
establishing themselves in unlikely
neighborhoods, where the proper vol
ume of business cannot be secured.
This is excellent service. worthy of
duplication in other associations and
in all credit departments. Think of
the man at the other end of the credit
transaction, Do not let him run into
danger if it is within your power to
save him. If he has not sized up prop
erly the neighborhood where he pro-
poses to locate and you know it is not
a fitting one for the enterprise, urge

| him to select some other location oil
change his mind about opening up
business.
Location of an enterprise has dl'
rect relation to success. Its proper
selection is a part of capacity"
The foregoing quotation is from the
December letter of ]. III. Tregoe, ex'
ecutive manager of the National AS
sociation of Credit Men, to the mem
bcrs Of the association.
1 give the thoughts contained in the
quotation space in this column be-
cause the investors are the real credit
men" of the nation.
The credit men of manufacturing or
commercial organizations are calleu
upon to determine only one question
as general rule-"Will the customer
pay his bills?" Mr.. Tregoe advises that
they carry the question a point furth-
er and ask, will the market be great
enough to permit the firm earning a
profit?"
If this is a question worthy Of ask
ing by the credit men, who only sup
ply goods to the firms, and who would
lose only portion of the actual
amount of those bills in the case OF
failure, why is it not even more i'm
portant question to be asked by the in
yestor who supplies the working capt.
tal-and who would lose all of his
money in the event of failure?
Many a worthy movement has fallen
far short of logical expectation. be-
cause of over enthusiasm concerning
the market possibilities. When one
sees a thing which particularly ap-
peals to him it is only natural that
he assume all other persons will be
equally interested.
The question of markets for a prod
uct is one well worthy of considera-
ton by the investor before he places
his money into the Golfers of an or
ganization-he should appoint himself
credit man and determine. as Mr..
Tregoe suggests, whether the firm will
be able TO earn profitable margin
on its wares, which will permit the
firm to pay the debt of rental on the
money advanced, as well as to assure
of continuing in business sufficiently
long to protect the principal.

RAILROADS IN LINE.

Another event OF great Importance
to the industrial development of this
community is that many additional
hundreds of thousands Of acres viii
Immediately be brought under irriga-
ton as q result of water conserva-
ton plans and projects consummated
in 1925. including the reorganization
and utilization of the great Medina
dam irrigation scheme near this city.
Thousands of additional cars have re-
Gently been required to transport :he
increased production of the Valley
and our other farm and fruit belts.
During 1925 transportation CONSOLE
dations have become effective which
give TO Southwest Texas the undivided
support not only of the greatly
strengthened Southern Pacific system,
but also of the Missouri Pa.ific rail-
road, enormous additional sums being
invested by both these lines in pre-
pairing for the unprecedented traffic
movements they see ahead of them in
this territory.
Probably the most outstanding sin
made during 1925 is the fact that this
city will be the permanent headquar-
tiers for the newly organized Central
and Southwest Utilities Company, a
corporation Of considerably over
S100.000,000 capital. This means rec
ignition by great industrial leaders
and capitalists, headed by that famous
developer, Martin j. Insul of Chicago,
Of the fact that Southwest Texas is
the most promising new remaining ter
ritory on the American continent from
a big investors viewpoint. Through
the consolidation with. or the taking
over Of the Texas Central Power Com
pany by the Central and Southwest
Utilities Company OF Chicago over
1,j0C,O00 Middle West people have
automatically become financially inter-
ested in the industrial development Of
San Antonio and Southwest Texas. Un-
der the general management Of ]. G.
Kennedy, this concern will erect and
control numerous power plants, pub
lie utilities, ice and lighting concerns
throughout Southwest Texas. 1t is i'm
possible to realize the enormous indus
trial benefits which must Immediately
accrue to San Antonio on account OF
the vast steady expenditures Of those
many millions Of dollars annually
through this city, and also from the
great additional national interest
which is thereby conferred upon this
region.

MEXICO CITY, August 14.-Mayor
RoiaS of Guadalupe Hidalso, not far
