Brownsville Chamber Of Com
merce realizes that it has a big
work cut out for 1t and is going at
1t In a serious and systematic way.
anyone present at the meeting OF
board directors last night could
easily c e
The entire body feels that Browns
vile will probably make the biggest
business stroke Of its history this
year. and all the directors are in
dead earnest about the work.
Under the leadership OF Judge II.
L. Yates. who has been so energetic
in working out the details Of the
proposed deep water port. success
Of that particular project Is already
felt.
DJESIDES the statistics to be tab
III ulated concerning the Valley
by the board. one important
| feature Of the meeting vas found
Yin a report read by Manager Rich
ardson on his recent trip to Mexico.
This Is that Mexico Is more ano
more beginning 70 look upon
Brownsville and the Valley as an
important factor TO Mexican bus
mess. Business men of Brownsville
and the Valley will want TO read
that report Is it shows the trend OF
thought at present. and points 70
action In the near future. 1t con-
tains many hunks OF business meat.
and MI. Richardson was indeed for
tunate in being able to make such
contacts in SO short a period OF
time as that Of his visit. The cham
Der manager went at the expense
Of the city and this worth while re-
port should be made use Of. 1t was
ordered spread on the minutes OF
the board Of directors.
WITH the business year Of 1880
wv following the unprecedented
market crash Of last fall, many
OF the larger business men Of the
country are carefully watching 1880
business indications.
Many are considering IL a year
Of hard work and careful consider
alton Of overhead expenses. but
with no tinge of fear as TO the re-
suit. The stock crash seems TO have
punctured mutations and put the
country back to a more fundamen-
tai basis. which really should work
toward a most successful year. II
seems 1t is going TO be q good year
but based on hard work and less
rushing in with a Hip, Hip. Hoo
ray" spirit.
CONTINUED fair prices seem TO
point to no little Valley benefits
from the lowly cabbage. 1t is said
that the average yield per acre will
be somewhere around four tons. At
500 per ton this means that $240
per acre has recently been crossed.
1t is estimated that there are about
$500 tons in the Valley. which
means that this crop will bring
something like s2.63o.00o II $50 can
be averaged.
But several individuals r show
ing much better returns. George
White says he has about eight acres
which make about eight tons to the
acre. II he can average $50 per ton
he will gross 5000 from eight acres.
There are not many other places in
the world where such returns can
! had off the land itself.
IF the male OF the specie during
the coming year intends TO fol-
low Alstair Macintosh in cloth
ing styles. this is certainly going to
be a bright year. Press Dispatches
state that the former husband OF
Constance Talmadge, has come
dashing back from Europe with a
second wife and dazzling raiment.
Listen 10 this: Cinnamon colored
top coat; trousers checkered, one
inch squares: sack coat of a basket
weave of red. brown and white; tie
OF orange and red; shirt of gray
and blue; bright yellow gloves and
a brown fedora with turned I'D rim
Fellows. do you suppose the world
is really coming to that.
MATAMOROS is stepping out with
W a big play day. The prime OBJ
ject Of the present affair is TO
assist In raising a hospital fund,
but there are those who see in il
an annual fiesta, which may in time
become something like the WASH
ington birthday celebration at Lare-
do.
This fete draws thousands of Wis
itors annually and has become an
affair Of no little civic pride of the
two cities. If such can be worked
out it will mean a great play time
each year.
