Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-01-30
I'm OUR
VALLEY

YEGGS, knob-knockers and others
of that stripe are visiting in the
Lower Rio Grande Valley, according
to Herald correspondents.
Just one Of the reactions to the
advertising that the Valley has been
receiving.
Until recently the Valley was a
stranger to this gentry.
They knew nothing about it. Never
heard tell Of it.
Getting different now.
Valley is being advertised. Bus
iness maps show that it is one OF
the few prosperous business spots in
the United States.
And, naturally, yeggs and their like
seek sections where there are signs
Of prosperity.
One of these days there will be a
rogues' gallery in the Valley, prob
ably at Brownsville since Its border
position will give it strategic value in
yegg operations.
THE INTERNATIONAL BRIDGE Of
the National Lines of Mexico and
the Missouri Pacific, at Browns
vile, is serving another purpose.
Now being used to cross passenger
trains.
Carrying tourists into Mexico.
Will come out by way Of Laredo.
Latest was a special of eleven
coaches, with diner, with about $50
realtors aboard. Came down from
Houston where they attended the
real estate convention LAST week.
They saw the Valley. Now en-
route to Mexico City, Vera Cruz,
Guadalajara, Aguascalintes and other
points.
No reason why a quarter Of million
persons shouldn't pass through
Brownsville every year, bent on see
ing Mexico.
In March there will be another
big train Bringing the Missouri
Press Association. Will tour Mexico.
See Mexico. See pyramids as an
eient as those Of Egypt. See other
relics of civilizatio that lived ten
thousand years ago.
All only 460 miles-air line-south-
west of Brownsville.
LOCAL NEWS, Valley news, gen.
eral news.
More Of il in The brownsville
Herald of Sunday than in any other
small city newspaper in Texas.
All of il interesting, too.
Just another reason why The Her
AIDS circulation is growing so rapid
~.
And q reason why so many per-
sons are quitting upstate papers for
the Valley news.
The Herald gathers 50 tremend-
ously much Valley news, and repro
-uces so much of it, that rne Hous-
Jn and San Antonio papers cannot
possibly compete with it IN that di-
rection.
The Herald is sparing no expense
in the matter Of gathering this VAL
ley news. And carries mere Asso-
ciated Press dispatches than the San
Antonio Light, for example.
THE HERALD Sunday offered to
receive contributions of one dollar
from democrats to help Houston
carry the load Of the national demo-
cratic convention, to be held in
June.
The first contribution reached The
Herald Sunday morning.
It came from Henry Gruenwald,
pioner resident Of Brownsville, a
democrat, and a native of Houston.
The second came from Mrs. D. P.
Gay, Jr., Of Brownsville, than whom
there is no more rip-roaring demo-
erat.
The Herald repeats, now is the
time for all good democrats to come
to the aid Of their party.
FOR 800 YEARS it required fifteen
days or longer to travel by road
from Mexico City to the nearest Pa
cific coast point.
Now it's different.
A highway has been completed.
and the trip can now be made by
motor in fifteen hours.

sirable, will roll in cream through
