IN OUR
VALLEY
I w rcw Pattfiwiii Brow tisvillr automo-
bile dealer r< «*ntly toured set t ion*
between the Lower Rio tJrai.de Valley
nnd North Texas. I Mscussing what
amounts to a pcrfe t hegiru to the
' alley he deelared that his car went
at a pretty good clip going' north but
overtook only one or two car- and till'
is significant In- estimated that beaded
in tbe direction of tin- Valley were no
fewer than fitai cars.
1 here are more tourists in the Lower
Rio lira tide \ailey today than ever be-
fore.
There are more newcomers actually
establishing their home- m the Valley
than ever before.
And there are more new strange faces
on the streets of'every Valley town than
ever before.
I he writer «»f this column ehlered into
* casual conversation with a fellow pas-
senger on a train Saturday. Il> wa- a
Tennesseean of perhaps .Ml years lie
may have heen younger. Ii<• hail liought
about 1.T0 aer»s of land on a t e-iieu near
Brownsville—in l-.l .lardiu.
"I'm going down to clear some of that
land arid put trees on it." he declared. ■
"It’s the finest land I ever saw. 1 think
I’m lie ky to have it. Hut 1 sure wish
I had some place to live in the in* un-
while."
• • •
Arriving at his office this writer
found nn application for work from a
young Ohioan.
• My father lias bought some laud at
Brownsville and is going down thi- fall
to live. After seeing your paper and
booklets on Brownsville am convinced."
he said "that that's where I want to!
live. My bent is toward journalism |
what have you?
We're going to try to place this young
man. The Valley needs and wants more
like him.
• • •
These are nierly three incid' nt s met
with by the writer in si few hours’ time. |
on it single »lay. And In* w as not looking (
for a “story.” These relations are jit-t
the result of th* purely casual. Any
tiuveler to the Valley or <> of t meets
with just as many if he is at till inter-
ested in people ami thing- about him.
If you are a Valley-ite ju-t try talking
to strangers. Watch tIt• in open up.
They do it so enthusiastically.
* • •
There isn't a desirable vacant home
in the Valley. The shortage i» resulting
often in the occupancy <>f dwellings that
are not at all satisfactory.
I tne ltrownsviM" concern recently
made additions and ihanges in its per-I
sonnel pinch hrought four young men
anil their wives to tin- city as permanent
residents t tne of them found a sati-
factory home by accident and through
fortunate acquaintance. The other- took
what they could get. hoping for some-
thing better in tin* future.
This is the report of Imt one con-
cern. t Mhers too. are grow ing and mid
ing new ami experienc'd men who re-
ceive good to high wages.
These men are accustomed to com-
fortable homes dwelling* in accord with
tlieir cir* iimstanees. Some of tlrm
leave because they can't find homes.
What are we going to do about the
house shortage?
What are our commercial organiza-
tions doing about this si rions question?
What are om businessmen out banks
ers doing about it? The builder?
The real estate owners?
• • •
By the way. there was a lumber man
among the Houston l\Iks who visited
Brownsville a few days ago. Here is
an observation from hint:
| wish I owned about "f these
lots out here and had a few thousand
dollars with which to build concrcti side
walks make sewer water and light con-
nections ami build homes on tic in.
1 believe they would go like the pro-
verbial liotcakes.”
We don't know whether they would
go like "hot cak-s" or not" but it cer-
tainly would be an interesting experi-
ment for Brownsville.
Who'll be the firs* to try it?
• • •
Hilly Hurnett suffered tin a< < ident at
Mercies a few day- ago when an auto-
inoltil*' d. • loaed on his hand breaking
a ligament. KveryIhkIv in the Valley
knows and loves Hilly Hurnett. and
everybody* Iio|h*s that the injury will
soou heal.
• * *
Hrownsville stor* s were crowded with
buyers Saturday. H<* were stor*-' in
every other town in the Valley. Httsi-
ness is good. The *ott**n crop ha« *l*'tie
its share to put money in Valley (Nickels.
Then's real prosperity here. Are you
getting your share **f the business?
