or the unanimous opinion that such

THE BROWNSVILLE HERALDS
Greater Valley Edition issued last
Sunday was in such great demand
that the several thousand extra
copies printed were all sold out be
fore sundown Sunday-and orders
Tor several hundred copies have
been received since.
Newspapers in and out of the
Valley are complimenting The Her
aid organization for publication Of
such an edition. With becoming
modesty we reprint three OF the
comments herewith.
xhe Corpus Christi Caller has
81 enething nice to say about the
edition and offers proof that spe-
cial editions are accomplishing their
mission. Here 1t is:
The Greater Valley edition OF
The Brownsville Herald is out. It
was published Sunday with the reg
ular Sunday edition.
1T Is q credit to The Herald, to
the Valley and to South Texas. for
it gives a comprehensive picture of
one of the greatest agricultural dis
tricts in the country.
The edition comprises 1i2 pages,
al OF them filled with varied and
valuable information on the Lower
Rio Grande Valley. its past. its fu-
ture. and b. tiles which have built
the Valley aid which the Valley has
built.
And these special editions are
attracting attention elsewhere then
In this immediate territory.
The Caller yesterday received a
letter from an Atchinson, Kas., citi-
zen requesting a copy Of The Call
er's recent special edition which was
devoted TO 10 years Of progress in
Corpus Christi and this part of
Texas.
Part OF the letter read: saw in
the Brownsville paper that it was
wonderful special edition (The Call
er's speciaD-"
Which was mighty nice of The
Brownsville Herald. The Herald
carried a highly complimentary no.
tice In its In Our Valley column OH
The Callers special edition.
GEORGE TOOLAN. columnist Of
the Harlingen Star. says some nice
things. thusly:
That liz page annual industrial
edition Of The Brownsville Herald
Sunday was q credit TO its pub
fishers and the Valley. Last year
none was published and it was
missed. Each year the edition i'm
proves in keeping with the Valleys
development The Herald is keep
ing pace with 1t and that's saying
something.
The Star extends its sincere con-
Rratulations, and when it is as old
as The Herald, 1t too may be able
to put out an edition as good as
that one.
Next Sunday the Star will cele-
brate its first birthday as a daily
and an effort will be made to COM
memorate 1t with an edition in
keeping with a baby publication.
1t takes time to build up a news
paper, yet the Star is delighted
with the progress made in its first
year. The second year viii see an
even greater growth, YOU may de-
pend on that"
