IN OUR
VALLEY
w. ". CALLAHAN OF st. Louis
arrives in Brownsville.

Ought 10 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.
y Knows a good thing when he
sees IL.
Sees the charm OF Boca Chica.
And sets a good example to VAL
ley folk.
Who some day will be scrambling
70 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 70 neglect.
SAW SOME ENVELOPE en-
closures the other day.
Signed by the San Benito Cham
Der Of Commerce.
Urging consumption o 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 can Of this
or that prepared outside the VAL
ley, why not eat more Valley
vegetables
Let the ladies devise more APP
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
and kick because they are fed can
kned 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
pocketbook.

TROPICAL DISTURBANCES IN
