ANNOUNCEMENT has been made
IA by the Shary Products company
that fruit juice bottling plant
will be established at Donna.
Not only should the town OF DON
ma receive such news as this seems
no be with joy. but it should be look
ed upon a Valley-wide asset.
Such manufacturing plants serve
a three-fold benefit. II will give en-
ployment to more people ard con-
sequently give to Donna a payroll
In proportion.
II will give a home market COR
second rate fruit. without the ex-
penSe of a long haul. With an ad-
vertising campaign Of national scope
which Ii is said will be opened. Rio
Grande Valley fruits will be brought
more before the eyes of the nation.
Many dinner pals ana manufac-
tured products will serve as the very
button on the Valleys cap Of for
tune.
THEN on the heels OF this an
nouncement. j. r. Bell is seek
ing a Valley-wide meeting to
hear how 10 best go about getting
Valley fruit into Europe. Figures.
surprising. are already available to
show that this fruit is really fit for
a king and queen.
What is here wanted Is for the
king and queen to eat more Of Il
and the Valley TO get the money zor
II.
Which reminds this writer OF
letter he has received from j. ..
Jorgensen at OwosSo, Michigan, who
declares that his real home is Wes-
laco. He said that while wading
around through the snow from store
TO store, he found both the stores.
and a big advertisement appearing
in a Detroit paper, Florida fruits
being heralded under the name Of
Florida. He suggests that Valley
fruits be heralded more and more
under the name Of Texas fruits. Mr..
Jorgensen said that he was enjoying
The Brownsville Herald, for which
we thank him and in turn tell him
that he might keep UP that adver-
tislng.
GETTING back to this tourists
business, listen TO this "25000O
guests expected at Tampa. So
reads q headline in the Detroit
ANews.
Now let's see that is around a
HQuarter Of a million persons going
to one town In one year, or about
ten times as many men, women and
children as there are in Brownsville.
II Brownsville could get the tour
lists headed this way in flocks like
that ii would not be so bad for
everybody living here to get a
chance to do business with ten times
as many people as there are here
now. would ii?
It was said that this estimate was
based on hotel reservations.
What II they all spent SlOO, and
every reader will admit that you
cannot 20 anywhere very far on
500 these days. But that small sum
would make q handsome business
of S25.00O.000.
The tourists business seems to beat
raising chickens all hollow, doesn't
it?
A INVOLVEMENT comes today
from U. S. Attorney Fred Hor-
owitz that he has come TO
Brownsville TO investigate the elec-
tion in Hidalgo county.
This election has been aired from
one end Of the country to the other.
II may not be brought 10 an end.
III there is anything to be done
about 1t. It is hoped that 1t can be
done and ended this time.
AS soon as the political peace can
descend upon this section. the bet
ter it will be for the home folks. II
is probably not doing SO much dam
age on the outside as some here
think. but 1t Is in aroused feelings
here at home that ii hurts.
This IS surmiSed by the fact that
up until three weeks ago this writer

somewhat a local disagreement poll
tically. but he had not held it such
black mark against the Valley.
The people generally get what the
majority want. Here Is hoping that
we can soon all get together with
one accord again. And this is not
