ter his return from New York and

Some Of these advertisements, II
was pointed out come from so-csll-
ed Better Business Leagues. The Ill
tent Is TO warn investors against be-
coming too enthusiastic over plac-
ing their money without a thorough
investigation. which Is nothing but
good business, 1t was said.
Boom Denied
But at the same time between
the lines M gathers the impression
that there is q mushroom growth
in the Lower Rio Grande Valley
which it was held. is not ut all
true"
1t was proposed that immediate
steps be taken 70 offset any such
ideas as boom conditions here, with
mIIAtbOlS.
To do this Manager &. &. Rich
ardSon has been asked to gather
figures on the scholastic growth OF
towns In the Valley, which 1t in
known will show a steady growth.
Railway figures showing the influx
Of people over a number of years:
bank deposits, tax rates. the latter
to be compared with other northern
cities OF Texas and citrus growing
areaS-in fact a number OF sets or
figures 70 show the growth and bus
mess Of the Valley Il fundamentally
sound, ard should not be compared
with previous boom conditions In
Florida OF California.
Valley Advertised
That the Valley and Brownsville
are now advertised before the pub
lie eyes Of the North and East like
never before was the consensus of
opinions Of many who have visited
various sections recently, but il was
added that the advertising has UNI
fortunately carried with IL the idea
Of a boom.
II Is TO offset this with figures BY
which any good business man can
readily determine the real conditions
IN the Valley. which business men
here know will compare favorably
with any other like section Of the
country.
II was also held that To have these
figures audited BY some well known
company IN that particular line OF
business will also be of great bene-
fit.

this situation and have made it
possible for you to procure your
every prerequisite in apparel
