COSMOPOLITAN Ell CENTRO

A gentleman who is now visiting Ell Centro has
told this city in its outer aspects impresses him as
being as cosmopolitan any OF the nations largest
municipalities. We believe him for several reasons,
not the least of which that he has nothing to sell
and is adverse to any publicity We know he sincere
cultured has discriminating taste in most matters.
why should it not be ?" we asked him.
We are of the opinion that the Imperial Valley Is
what its name connoesan empire, of llllmltable op-
portunity-and that its capital FL Centro is also
what its name implies, the center of this empire and
therefore one of the worlds most cosmopolitan cities
Writers of national and international note tell the
world that the Imperial Valley could feed and clothe
all of the United States. That's what has always
made enduring empres-Egypt, Babylon, Persia,
Greece Rome England and her colonies, the United
States All were founded upon those essentials of
civilization, food and clothing production and the
transportation of them by land and sea.
To cite the oldest and most s-oried of empires,
what would the greatest phase of the empire of the
Pharoahs amount to in comparison with the Imperial
Valley in potential productiveness? Has it ever been
estimated in the past present that the rich fringe
of the Nile could feed than a hundred million
people?
From New York to San Diego from Seattle to
Miami the most popuous and powerful nation OF all
time has to bid for the output of this fecund agrlcui-
tura empire. -.
And among this empires galaxy of solid and
Quick growing cities FL Centro today IS the acknoW-
lodged leader. That is why know our splendid
city should be-and s-one of the worlds cosmopoil-
E tan cities.
And Judging by all portents, the Imperial Valley
and Ell Cenro only at the threshold OF their Won
