There was a meeting at Del Rio July
30th which was of the greatest importance to Southwest Texas. A group of
men representing the Chambers of
Commerce of all the cities and towns
between San Antonio and E l Paso began tbe organization of thu Mexican
Border Highway Association.
The sole purpose of this association
is ta; advertise Southwest Texas-in
Many-of the towns along the highway
particular, and the West i n general,
have already done much advertising,
but this has fallen far short of the desired goal, as ,the towns, and not the
immense territory around them, were
given the publicity. Towns do not
make, the country—the Country makes
the towns.
However, 'that was the best that
could be-done. Each town had to advertise itself,.or pass into oblivion as
far as the motor tourists was concerned. And until now, i t seemed that
that was all that could be done. No
other method of advertising had been
suggested.

A handful of farsighted, brainy men
who have the future interests of
Southwest Texas at heart, have evolved a plan. Their watchword: "In
Unity There ia Strength." If you had
a cow,to sell,.it would be folly to allow the prospective purchases see nothing of the cow but her head and per
haps a hind leg. Or if you had land to
sell, you would do more than to show
a possible buyer the front gate'and
the south forty. You would show him
all of that cow, and all of that hind.
