*".i* "i.A ■'*
Company Secures Ac-
\ reage at Boca Chica
To Be Placed on
Market Soon
JDebelopment of another beach pro-
ject for the Lower Rio Grande (Valley
has bean announced by the Bora
Cbtfa Beach Inc. a company recently
organised which has secured 640 acres
M the Brasos Island section of Boca
i Chica beach. The tract is now being
f subdivided and 100 acres will be
placed on the market at an early
date.
The company is composed almost
■v entirely of local men headed by Joe
; Dancy Weslaco merchant as presi-
f dent. Other officers are Ewing D.
Clark secretary and treasurer with
Joe Metsger G. W. Bradford Richard
Stone. J. W. Tompkins and A. R.
Crouch as directors. J. P. Herr for-
mer sales manager for the ''hateau
Park Corporation of Miami Fla. one
af tko largest developments in the
Miami section will be in charge of
the. sales assisted by C. P. Guess
who has been connected with several
vary successful California and Flor-
ida development projects.
Improvements on the property
which they propose to make at an
early date will consist of a 50-foot
surfaced boulevard through the cen-
ter af the tract with all streets well
graded and marked. A modern well
equipped! hath house will also be
erected. Roads to that section of

A lady comew to Brownsville

the beach are to 1>e improved assur-
ing easy access to ttoe main road
and the resort will be on the Brazos
Island section of the Ocean Beach
Driveway giving good conections
with all fishing waters and hunting
areas on the lower Gulf coast.
"Florida and California both at-
tained their high places as tourist
retorts by development of their coast
Erojects" Mr. Herr stated “and the
ower Rio Grande Valley can have
more and better resoits than either
of those states if they will develop
what nature has provided. Unlike
the Florida coast the lower Gulf
coast it not menaced by the West
Indian hurricanes which almost every
year ravage paits of the Florida
toast. Here you can build your win-
ter and summer resorts on the sea-
shore with full confidence that the
elements will be kindly and without
* u disastrous hurricanes. This
feature alone should make the Valley
Gulf coast the most popular in the
United States.
The deal for the- Brasos Island sec-
tion of the Boca Chica beach was
made after a careful survey of the
entire Valley Gulf coast members of
the company stated. 1 They pointed
out that their acreage is located close
to the finest bathing beach on the
Gulf coast in close proximity to the
most popular tarpon fishing grounds
and that when their road construction
program is completed the resort will
ue tisv oi access.
“Withiil five years* every foot of
ground in that section will be im-
proved" was the prediction made by
a member of the company. “The
Valley's climate and its benches are
two of. its greatest assets and the
present trend indicates that the Via-
ley will no longer delay in capitaliz-
ing them."

a quarter of a century ago are giving
the same fine service that caused their
owners to select them.

Armistice Day!
Lest We Forget!
In the hurry and scurry of our busy lives we are
apt to forget those who fought bled and died that
we might live our lives in peace and happiness.
November 111 What memories ftxat epochal
date brings back. For on that day just eight years
ago a score of nations laid down their arms and
Peace reigned once more.
#
On this Armistice Day let us again do homage
to the hard-won Victory of the Allied Armies and
to those who gave their lives that Liberty and
Democracy might live.
