Los FRESNOS
PORT GATEWAY
Located In Geographical
Center of Rich Farm
Community

Los Fresnos may well be termed
the gateway to the Valleys port
since it is only 10 niles from Port
Isabel where a harbor is to be
constructed in the near future.
Los Fresnos Is n Of the baby
towns Of the Valley but has shown
a tremendous growth since 1927
when IL was established. A few
years ago it had no population at
all and now 375 persons call IL
home" not including quite q num-
Der who live so near that they
might well be included In the fig
ures.
Valuations Of this little city rem
dered for the tax rolls now total
sol .826.
Los Fresnos may be near the VAL
ley's port but competing cities are
far away as distances between
towns usually go IN this section.
Brownsville IS Il miles to the south,
| San Benito Il miles TO the west
and the Arroyo Colorado Is Is miles
TO the north. This places Los Fres-
nos almost in the geographical CEN
ter of a large. fertile area. Such
is not the case with many cities
which have competing communities
within five or six miles on several
sides. For this reason the growth
of Los Fresnos is expected TO be
particularly rapid.
Land about Los Fresnos Is partic-
ularly suited 10 the growing OF po-
tatoes and many carloads Of this
product have moved out from this
section. Total shipments over the
Southern Pacific, which passes
right through Los Fresnos. are e29
for two shipping seasons only and
the current season has sent the
total well over a thousand. The
Missouri Pacific also serves part OF
the Los Fresnos tract.
Potato shipments alone are said
to have brought more than $780,
600 into the Golfers OF Los Fresnos
farmers during the past two ship
ping seasons. Current shipments
are not included.
Headquarters for the Cameron
County Water Control and Improve
ment District No. 6 were moved TO
los Fresnos over a year ago from
Brownsville. All water districts
serving the Los Fresnos tract are
either making or planning improve
mentS OF various kinds including
concreting Of canals. etc.

are some ten thousand prosperous,
thrifty people in Los Fresnos, ac-

no more than a sound, logical esti-
mate.
With Brownsville twelve miles
to the South, the Arroyo Colorado,
eighteen miles to the North, and
San Benito, twelve miles to the
West, and Point Isabel, eighteen
lilies 10 the East, we have a terri
tory approximately thirty miles
North and South and thirty miles
East and West, with Los Fresnos
the only town in that area, situated
in almost the geographical center.
One of the great assets in the
growth and prosperity of any town
is a large trade area. Los Fresnos
il particularly endowed in that
item, and has the largest trade ex-
panse Of any community in the Rio
Grande Valley.
With such a large trade terri
tory. Los Fresnos certainly presents
one of the most inviting locations
10 merchants TO be found anywhere.
Right now, there are splendid op-
portunities in several lines Of bust
ness, and an unusually good n for
a Dry-goods store.
While part Of the Los Fresnos
District is an old developed farm
ing section, it is only since the
Southern Pacific Ry., traversed this
rich agricultural area, that it has
held such wonderful inducements to
the merchant and farmer alike.
Within the area described above,
there is probably as much new de-
velopment in Citrus paintings, as in
all of the rest of the Valley combin-
ed. Most of the Water Companies
in this area are concreting or ar
ranging to concrete nearly all of
their canals. Thousands and thous-
ands of dollars have been and are

AN RECORD

While Los Fresnos is yet just a
baby, 50 TO speak, it enjoys a very
enviable record in the way Of ship
ments of fruits and vegetables. I'm
the two shipping seasons, since the
Southern Pacific entered this dis
trict. they alone report the shipment
Of 929 carloads Of fruits and veget-
ables. The Missouri Pacific Ry.,
which also services this district
shipped many hundred more. to saw
nothing of auto-truck and express
shipments. One minute with pencil
and paper, shows this runs into
Millions Of Dollars. Potato ship
mcnts alone, from this district, ran
in Xcess Of three-quarters Of a Mil
lion Dollars in these two seasons.
The returns in Dollars and Gents
for some Los Fresnos crops, are not
only bewildering, but staggering to
people Of Northern experience.
Many fabulous stories of exception
al money returns are told. and on
another page, you will find some
signed statements, made by Los
Fresnos farmers relative to various
crops. While these may seem un-
usual, and are above the average.
many other reports are on file with
the Chamber Of Commerce, and can
be substantiated as facts. The
Chamber Of Commerce will be
pleased to answer any inquiries.
