Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1930-02-21
WHILE our port project has not
wv been finally passed, those Of

1NSA J R
the interested navigation dis
tricts are going ahead and doing
business on a flat presumption that
1t will be passed.
What a furry and what q busy
day will the lower end OF the Valley
experience the minute the omnibus
bill is passed.
In looking forward to the port
there Is n angle probably over
looked by many, in wondering what
they themselves will get out Of it,
which We should start c~ultivating
right now-if an angle can be cult
waited.
This Is our relationship with Mex
leo. The Valley will furnish no lit
tie tonnage for the ships when they
begin to land, but not nearly enough
to keep the pilots busy and all
HANDS on deck.
The supplement to make up the
whole is coming from the sister re-
public on the south, in ore and oil
and cattle-or what have you.
One way to make q good start in
getting in behind such a move is
TO Fundamentally join MatamoroS
IN the carnival she is announcing.
The meat in the cocoanut there Is
not which queen shall be elected
from Brownsville to the carnival OF
Good Humor, but how Brownsville
will step out with her cash for a
Matamoros cause. She now has a
chance to show Matamoros what We
think Of her, and that is no little
bit.
Then let's make out Of it an n
nual fiesta Of fun.
nEOPLE little realize what is com-
ing 10 the Valley the minute
that omnibus bill Is passed. In
that instance omnibus is again 60
ing TO be a vehicle and we are all
going to take a prosperity ride Id
and on II.
one OF the latest to give this idea
Is Earl Smith Of Delphi, Indiana,
who has been spending a few days
in the Valley. Mr.. Smith, from the
town with the Greek name, repres-
ents large canning interests. He says
that when he reads the approprla-
ton has been made for the port he
will be back looking for a location
Tor a factory.
aNENT this advertising business
IN We mean where Pats are given
a the Valley at 5000 a pat'-G.
c. Richardson Of the Chamber OF
Commerce say that Valley secre-
taries are in a position to give
Valley merchants and business men
much sound advice when 1t comes
to purchasing white space for p
printed word at so much per inch.
At least If they do not have 1t, they
know where to 60 get 1t; and the
buyer will thus be given time 10
reason out from under the influence
Of spell binding craftsmanship.
QUIT has been entered against W.
~ X. Henderson and the Hello
World Broadcasting Corpora
ton Of Shreveport, La, for $4,000
which shows that those putting up
a so-called fight against chain stores
are beginning TO seriously disagree
among themselves. Everyone can
get as warm as they want TO over
the matter and 1t will not change
things one bit. That is with the pro-
! babe exception OF putting heavier
taxes on Out-Of-state concerns do
ing business in Texas. The people
will decide the thing themselves by
buying where they please. And this
where they please will be where they
get the best values, or the most
courteous treatment. OF any n OF
a dozen other things, which causes
them to be pleased.
After any smoke that is created
clears away. we will still have the
chain stores with US. That is unless
we do them like we did the New
York Life Insurance company. Just
NAVE them mad. and have them
take their millions OF investments
out of the state entirely. In that in
stance Texas lost nor than did the
New York Life from a business
standpoint.
nIOGENES carried q lantern look
ing for an honest man. Saw a
man walking down the street
last night with q flash light carried
as @ head light. He was looking for
careless automobile drivers so they
could see him and not hurl him into
eternity. Thought at first he had
cone cuckoo. but the more we think
about It, the more sensible he ap-
pears.
HOLM Gregg Of banking fame Is
getting 10 be one of the hot
shots at skeet. He went out the
other day and broke 22-20-17 out
a possible seventy-five and work
ed them In so as 10 beat cut some
of the best in q challenge. Good
bankers always have a way Of shoot
ing high flying things on the wing.
ALSO Brownsville hot shots at
~ golf will wind their way up TO
- Mercedes tomorrow to defend
the pasture pool honors Of the lower
end of the Valley. Charlie Pickett,
Jimmy George and j. 1. George are
nrobably the leading golf lights of
the eleven who will take part from
the Port City, where the ships will
Eson be going down 20 sea-
