Berlin and Bride
Hide Aboard Ship,
Deny Interviews
BY United Press Leased Wire

SOUTHAMPTON, Eng. Jan. 10.
Irving Berlin, song writer, and
his bride, the daughter of Clarence
II. Mackay, arrived here today
aboard the Leviathan after trip
in which they mingled freely with
fellow passengers but kept silent as
to their romance or their future
plans.
At Cherbourg they had locked
themselves in their stateroom to
AVOID a swarm of reporters and
cameramen.
Arriving here, the Berlins still
were locked in their cabin. Two
stewards blocked their door and
barred everybody, including Ber-
lin 5 London manager. Other
stewards were afraid to approach
the cabin.
The Berlins still were very happy.
They had told that story when
they left and were clinging to it
here. Beyond that they would not
go. They refused to grant any in
terview and Irving sent out the
sterotyped message:
''.I and my wife are very hap
py."

WORLD MARKET
FOR LOCAL
PRODUCTS

No matter what conditions may af-
feet other cities or nearby towns, San
Antonio's business inflow is always
steady. She obtains hundreds of thou
sands annually through her wholesale
trade markets. With the addition of
manufacturing lines which are 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 fore
tell San Antonio's coming greatness.
San Antonio crockery, household furni-
ture and glassware are distributed
here.
LARGE EXPORTS.
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 Mon
tana. Dry goods products of San
Antonio cover Texas from Browns
vile to the southern boundary, to
Louisiana on the east, Oklahoma on
the north and Ell Paso on the west.
Radio supplies, automobile equip
ment and minor necessities are scat
tered about the state from here. Drugs
and drug sundries are made and sold
from here.
YET UNDEVELOPED.
Leather goods, harness, shoe mate
rails, saddlery and other hide prod
ucts are shipped from here annually,
with their valuation running into the
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Chill
dren's clothing and ladies' rcady-to-
wear garments are made here and 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, a development
and progress as sure as the sunshine.
She has passed the experimental stage
and is now on the road to real develop
ment.
