Show. Nov. 19-23
BROWNSVILLE — The Browns-
ville chapter of the National Home
Builders’ Association, sponsors of
the. first Home and Construction
show to be staged here, have set
the date of the exposition up one
week to November 19th through
23rd in order not to conflict with
Thanksgiving holidays.
The exposition which will become
an annual event in the Border
City, will feature displays from
home furnishing and home build-
ing establishments throughout the
Rio Grande Valley and will show
some of the top entertainers in the
nation.
The Association has obtained the
large motor pool building at Fort
Brown as a site for the show. Pat-
rick J. O’Toole, producer of the
five-day exposition, said the build-
ing ‘would be especially decorated
.inside and out and would have
some 75 home demonstration
booths, sponsored by South Texas
merchandisers and builders. “If it
is new and modern, and for the
American home, it will be in this
show,” O’Toole said.
- He indicated that booth spaces
are being allocated rapidly and
predicted a great success for the
first of the home expositions to be
Bake Potatoes Buttered Carrots
Tossed Green Salad
Cornbread
Baked Apples
Coffee
Supper
Egg Salad Sandwiches
Celery Sliced Tomatoes Pickles
Potato Chips
Baked Custard Cookies
Milk
Timely Tips
Honey is a plentiful food for
October. About a quarter of a bil-
lion pounds are being produced
this year.
For tasty sandwich filling cream
together equal parts of honey and
butter, with or without nuts or
with grated orange peel.
Substitute honey for sugar when
preparing cinnamon toast, salad
dressing, baked ham, baked apples,
and puddings.
Honey is an energy producing
food.

Snow headquarters have been
established in the El Jardin Hotel
in Brownsville, where O'Toole may
be contacted by persons interested
in participating.
Giant aerial searchlights, de-
veloped in Hollywood, will light the
way to the showgrounds each night
during the event. O’Toole said
these lights develop 80 million
candlepower and the beams w,hen
trained in the sky, can be seen for
nearly 30 miles'. A

IStreet banners will advertise the
event; 200,000 merchants’ tickets
will be showered on cities through-
out the Valley; there will be door,
floor, drawing and booth prizes
galore, O’Toole said. “This is one
of the finest shows I’ve ever been
associated with,” he continued.
“The exposition has everything
from the finest in stage entertain-
ment to the best in booth displays.”
Stage shows, cooking schools, a
beauty contest, fashion shows,
plenty of music, and scores of ex-
hibits of the latest products for
the modern ,home will be on the
bill for visitors.
Representatives of the exposition
are now in the Valley contacting
prospective exhibitors for the show
and report that they already have
commitments for many out-of-Val-
ley cities. A line-up of stage acts,
music, entertainment and exhibits
will be announced later.
