LOCAL DEALER
HASBIRTHDAY
Stevenson Motor Com
pany 5 Years Old
Monday

The huskiest five-year old in
South Texas celebrated a birthday
Monday. There wasn't any cake.
with candles to be blown out, and no
guests were invited, but IL was a
real birthday party nevertheless, and
a joyous occasion for all concerned.
The youngster proceeded about its
usual affairs in much the same
fashion ii has been going about
them for the past five years. II has
cut 95 years off the old saying. and
declares that the first five years are
the hardest.
after that the wheels Of progress
become fabricated and the going Is
easier" says the youngster.
The Stevenson Motor company,
921 Adams street, is the youngster
having the party. Way back in 1922
when the automobile industry, while
not exactly in its infancy. was still
not nearly so thoroughly established
as il is today, the company came in
to being.
II was a good company even in
those days, those who have watched
il grow say. There was a salesman
ager, a master mechanic, the access
sorry department had n manager, N
first class stenoErapher was on the
job and Brownsville's most eff
cient office-boy greeted the cus-
toners at the door.
Tom Stevenson, manager of the
company. was each and all Of these
reliable workers in those days. II
was strictly a one-man concern.
Today a total of IS persons are
employed in the various departments
Of the modern and up-to-date build
ing housing the company. There is
a charming young lady stenogra.
pher, a sales force of five persons
and any number Of mechincs and
helpers, as well a. an efficiently
handled parts department.
Mr.. Stevenson supervises over al
this and occasionally helps out in
closing a deal, or gives an old and
favored customer his undivided at
tention in the selection OF a car.
Back in 1922 the company was in
an old building on Thirteenth street
Later the company moved over or
Levee street, in the Maltby building,
which was especially constructed
for them. That was in 1923, and BY
February of this year the company
had o%utgrown that location and was
ready to branch out into a third
new home.
The present spacious quarters Is
the result. Large, roomy and light
sales space, ample office room and
a large repair shop in the rear seem
ample for the present needs OF the
Chevrolet dealers at least.
The company is the third Oldest
automobile agency in Brownsville,
From year to year as it has grown
its business and service has grown
with it, until at the present time il
is rated as one Of the most reliable
firms in the city.

CORPORATION FORMED TO
DRILL FOR TEN MILLION
TON METEOR AT CRATER
CONTINUED from page y

(Continued from page u
some 400 feet in diameter, weighing
in the neighborhood of 100000 tons.
It is referred to as the "Barringer
meteorite."
From a scientific standpoint the ex-
ploration of Meteor Crater is intense
ly interesting. No meteorite Of any
thing like the estimated size of the
Barringer meteorite has been found
anywhere on earth. The largest OF
which there is any record weighed
only 81 tons. To determine the
character of this visitor from the
skies. according to Mr.. Colvocoresses,
would be a triumph of. scientific re-
search and would add greatly to our
knowledge of the origin and compost
ton Of the bodies which form our solar
system.
AS to the commercial aspect of the
exploration, practically all the iron
meteorites to which class the Canyon
Diablo meteorites belong, are COM
posed of over go per cent iron and five
to eight per cent nickel, thus forming
natural alloy similar to nickel steel.
The many Canyon Diablo meteors

aside from the assured scientific
value of the exploration" say the
prospectus of the Meteor Crater Tx
ploration and Mining company, the
expenditure of money on this project
must be necessarily a gamble. 1t is
possible, but extremely unlikely, that
the main body of the meteoric mass
may be of different composition from
the fragments found Immediately sur
rounding the crater, or it may have
been altered in composition by leach
ing and the values so disseminated as
to make mining Improbable. All sci
entists agree that the size and value
Of the meteoric mass cannot be known
until actually located, measured anc
sampled, but it is probable that in tbs
/ neighborhood of 100000 tons Of
meteoric iron will be found, largely il
i oxidized condition, with average re
covery of upwards Of 80 per cent o.
/ the values contained.
The immediate plan of the compan,
i is to search for the main mass of thu
Barringer meteorite by sinking ;
shaft and running drifts, aiming for ;
/ point below the bottom of the old drill
/ hole, which is believed to have reached
/ the upper portions Of the meteori'
mass, and then to carry on other un
| derground explorations to determine
the size and permit reasonably thor
/ ough sampling of its different por
tions. The cost Of the work has beer
variously estimated at from $250,O0I
to 100000.
No time has been set as to whel
operations will start on the project
as the company is at present endeav
| oring to raise the necessary funds.
