Phoenlx has man named johnson.
Tucson has named McCauley.
And-Nogales has Writ G. Bowman.
Phoenix has always been good town the past nineen
but did not beg to take real metropolitan airs
and build skyscrapers until named George john
located there Johnson hailed from New York and is
a of great wealth. He had hardly arrived in Phoe-
nix until he began buying up Phoenix real estate and
erecting buildings Others saw the stranger doing
those things and they too started getting busy The
sultthe greatest building boom the history of Phoenix
got under way and is still going.
similar tn ng happened at Tucson. A banker named
I. N McCauley out to Tucson. He, too, was from
the East He had lot of money and good financial con-
nectons He announced that the Consolidated National
Bank of Tucson of which he became president, would
build skyscraper. Wow-what a blow to some of the
odt;mers in Tucson. Such thing could never be done
they said 1T is BEING DONE Contain ing in the neigh
borhood of ten floors the building is nearing completion
and just block away another skyscraper the new Stein
field hotel is also being rapidly erected. The Steinfeds
decided to build until after McCauey had set the
ball to rolling Seinfelds and others felt that if the
stranger McCauley had enough faith in Tucson to spend
such an enormous sum of money they oo would do it
and they doing it, with the result that Tucson like
Phoenix is enjoying the biggest building boom in her his
tory.
But neither of these cities has anything on Nogaes
Tor this thriving little city has interested in herone in
tensely lnterested-a gentleman named Writ G. Bowman
known to practically every man. and child in this
city,
Bowman has been interested in Nogaes for many years.
IN fact since the first day he set foot Nogaes soil
years ago when he out west from his native state
MISSISSIPPI. He made fortune here and with part of
that wealth was able to make big connections on the Pa
ciflc coast few years ago. Those connections have
brought great wealth to Bowman and today he rated
far up in the millionaire class.
During all the time that Bowman was making money
in his new field and rising prominence in the bust
ness world ne never lost sight of Nogales-the city he
had called home for so many years He remembered his
many friends here and he continued to be the Writ
T. Bowman as of od He was and is today Just as dem
ocratc as in the days before he became of much
prominence. Prosperity has changed him. He is as
friendly to his old Nogales friends as he to the many
persons of wealth and prominence with whom he comes
daily in contact the coast
And On top of that Notwithstanding Bowman no
longer makes his home in Nogaes he becoming more
interested all the time in Nogaes few weeks ago he
bought the valuable business property from the Eks
Lodge just north of the Sonora Bank & Trust COMPANY
on Morley avenue, and Monday of this week pur-d
chased controlling interest IN First National Bank of
Nogales He is reported to have taken an option on
property Morley avenue.
MIR. Bowman is undoubtedly investing in Nogaes for
two reasonhs love for Nogales where he lived for So
but mainly his belief in the future of Nogaes
He would not be spending hard earned cash in this town
il he did not feel destired to become large city
Neither would Johnson be spending money at Phoenix
and McCauey at Tucson if those two men did not have
faith IN those two towns.
Men Of wealth Ike Bowman, Johnson and McCauley
size up situation thoroughly before making investments
town must have good future if those kind of men
to become interested.
Phoenix is proud of George Johnson, Tucson is proud
of T. N. McCauey and Nogales is more than proud of
Writ G BoWhan-a man who can, and will, we believe
do great things for this city, attract much outside capital
here and hasten the day when Nogales will become a
