Alto is the leading cotto:

and has been for many years.
The receipts speaks for itself.
Alto is surrounded by sev-
eral counties whose good farm
ers bring their cotton here tc
sell and to buy their goods.
There's a reason!
Some people are so envious
of other people that they at
once originate false statement:

A town can never prospe:
Avherc there are certain classes
of people who own almost the
whole town and won't sell,
build or improve.
There is all kinds of build-
ing going on in Alto, but we
still need more dwellings and
business houses to accommo-
date the people that are want
itig to cotne here.
Property owners around Altc
who want sell any of then
property for love or money
could at least build rent house;
on them and let it bring then,
an income.

Alto says that this is the best
little business town in East
Texas, and much better than'
pome larger ones. If anyone-
should know they sureh
should.
There is a great demand for
more rent houses in Alto.
People are here nearly every
day prospecting but can't move
here cm account of not having
any house to move into. We
need at least fifty more rent
houses, NOW.
It is estimated that a bale 01
cotton trebles in value in the
process of manufacture. Hciiec
if only 25 per oent of our cot
ton wi re inumfnctured in the
state the value of the Texnr
cotton crop would be increased
fifty p. r cent, or one hundred
million dollars. More factor,-
ies needed to keep the yiouej

Much of our land has not yet felt tho modifying influence of Human
skill in shaping its agricultural destinies and we need men to bring to
Texas products peculiarly adapted to our natural surroundings and to
make new products spring into life. In no country on the globe are
the processes of nature' so easily interpreted and the veins of new and
bountiful industries so easily tapped as in Texas and men who can rea-
son frith nature will find a profitable field of endeavor in agricultural
jrtirsniis. Texas needs great men.
