City Of Opportunity

Years ago, before civil strife and war,
Point Isabel was the most important port
south of New Orleans. War left it in ruins,
but demand and cooperation are rebuilding
a far more important city than was ever
dreamed of before.
This is no idle statement; It is but the
truth. Nothing can stop Point Isabel. III to-
morrow every man. woman and child
should leave and the city should burn to
the ground, 1t would rise again. No truer
test Of its greatness can be found than the
fact that even though it was laid in ruins,
It has risen again, until today it is being
watched by the entire nation.

PORT

It is not hard to visualize just what is
happening at Point Isabel. 1t is opening
to the world markets all the Valley has to
offer. Vast regions in Northern Mexico
and Eastern Texas will route produce, oil,
raw minerals or what ever they have,
through this Port.
One need only to close ones eyes for q
moment to picture great wharves piled
high with goods and grapefruit, bound to
and coming from all corners of the globe.
1t is your Port. See a great commercial
city and industrial center being developed.
The causeway is just another step.
