There are no more reliable criteria of the

a showing which doubtles; cannot be
equaled or surpassed by any city or the
country.
The big Increase In EI Paso clearances In
the opinion or bankers reflects the great

the rarl thai there Is an unprecedented
amount or building going on at this time
and ilso real estate trading many or these

the local banks
El Paao Is the city that boasts or never
having had a hoom and or never having
