Cuero is to experience
quite a bit of construction
work during the next ninety
days. From all indications,
workmen will be busy for sev-
eral new homes are planned
for the early future, including
two homes on Second street
Quite a bit of money will be
put into circulation through
construction of the Clinton
bridge highway cut-pfT. All in
all, the outlook is not a bit
dreary, and on top of it all we
are told that oil activity in
this immediate vicinity is to
take on new life within the
nest sixty days. We could be a
lot “worse off” as the saying
goes.
