NOCALES FUTURE
OUTLOOK BRIGHT
SAYS J.E;MEYER

j. ELLSWORTH MEYER, for
thirty years a resident of Los An
geles and Southern California,
during which time he was connect
ed with many enterprises, both
industrial and mining, and wit
messed the now famous southern
metropolis grow from a port of
tourists and climate to it's great
position in the sun as one of the
chief cities in the United States
i'll population and manufacturing,
gives his impressions Of Nogales.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Meyer
came here as sales manager for
a Southern California real estate
firm, having made first number
Of stops in other Arizona cities
and mining camps, and was very
successful in the sale of that SUBJ
division to purchasers and in
vestors in Nogales and other
places. While in Nogales Mr..
Meyer became inoculated with a
desire to stick around while; !;
something seemed to tell him that
Nogales was the place for new
fields to conquer. But what
was there to do? He began m
look around. A visit to the Cham
Der of Commerce soon convinced
the gentleman that there are great
possibilities for mineral develop
ment. He saw samples of Kino
copper ore, then went to the presi.
dent Of that company, asked some
questions, and was invited by the
engineer Of the company to visit
their property, and see for him
self the extensive workings and
immense bodies of copper ore al
ready demonstrated. Mr.. Meyer
said he had to be shown. And the
engineer took him to the proper
ty. Well he saw it for himself,
and so astounded was he, after a
tkoroe., Ii inspection Of ths prop.
erty that. he could not rest or
think of anything else but Kino
Copper, and how be could get in
to it.
Right here in the backyard of
Nogales, according to Mn. Meyers
way of thinking, is the very thing
to start the ball rolling to make
Nogales famous. Development
., This gigantic enterprise along
economical and scientific lines
will add greatly to the population
OF this city, and should cause real
cs.a.c values to double and treble.
It would also increase the busi-
ness Of every merchant and fill
Ut; all hotels and apartments.
The geographic location OF No
gales is ideal for making very
attractive city. The mildness OF
the climate, together with the con-
geniality Of her people and the
splendid uniformity Of the boost
er spirit, which seems prevalent
everywhere, will add greatly to her
success; and the desire to those
who come to see to want to stay.
But the first question entering
their minds is What can we 90
here?" That can be answered
by showing them that the great
resources of the country are being
developed, which means employ
ment to many, and also fat pay
rolls. Then there is the opening
of the inter-republic railways. with
Nogales as the gateway. That
means development of the wond-
erful resources of our sister repub-
lie, adjacent on the south-Mex.

and mineral resources, which are
all unsurpassed.
Nogales will be the distributing
point of his great undevel-
oped empire; just like Seattle is

That can be done if the people
here will get behind those who are
bending every effort and are put.
