Ought to know the Valley.
Has built about half OF IL.
And had something to do with
the other half.
Buys himself a couple OF lots at
Boca Chica.
VIII build a house Immediately.
Knows a good thing when he
sees it.
Sees the charm Of Boca Chica.
And sets a good example 70 VAL
ley folk.
Who some day will be scrambling
to buy lots at triple the prices Of
today.
Just another instance OF an out
slider seeing a good thing.
Which those OF us who are on
the spot are prone TO neglect.
SAW SOME ENVELOPE n
closures the other day.
Signed by the San Benito Cham
Der Of Commerce.
Urging consumption Of Valley
potatoes by Valley people.
And they set US to thinking.
This coming winter why do we
not all make a fetish OF eating VAL
ley vegetables and lots Of them?
Instead OF buying a a OF this
or that prepared outside the VAL
ley, why not eat more Valley
vegetables?
Let the ladies devise more ap-
petizing ways Of preparation.
And let our farmers, some OF
them, make it a practice Of seeing
that Valley restaurants get a steady
supply OF Valley vegetables.
Cafe men claim reason they fail
TO feature Valley vegetables IS that
they can't get them delivered.
And tourists come down here
an kick because they are fed can
\ ned vegetables in a country which
boasts of its winter truck crops.
And we don't blame them.
Let's get vegetable conscious dur
ing the coming season.
Help us to better health.
Help the farmer TO a fatter
p~ocketbook.

NATIONAL CHAIN store organ
ization which recently opened a
store in Brownsville Is surveying
other Valley cities.
Heads of the organization stated
when the Brownsville store was
opened that II business proved sat
is~factory other stores would be
opened.
Whether you are for or against
chain stores you have 70 admit
one thing.
Their organizations are headed
by shrewd business men.
They 90 where the money Is.
And where the business IS.
IT'S a good sign OF the times
when a great national organization
plans to open additional stores in
the Valley.
Shows the world that business IS
lyood in the Valley. !.
Even II some OF us do think that
II is not 50 hot.
TROPICAL DISTURBANCES in
terest Valleyites.
They have told us so
In increasing numbers.
W. asked their views on the pub
lication OF news OF such disturb
ances.
And we got them.
They like TO read about them.
Even though they know they are
not going 10 hit the Valley.
evidently on the same principle
as We read detective thrillers. and
women go 70 the movies 70 CRY
over a sad picture.
So wen publish the news every
time one comes along.
But please understand that un-
less we distinctly say so. We want
n distinctly understood that these
tropical disturbances IRE not to be
considered as even threatening TO
the Valley.
