Why Aransas Pass Will Be a
Great City.
There are some that may doubt
that Aransas Pass will some day
make a great city, but there were
also those who doubted the word
of Noah when he advertised that
a heavy rain was coming.
Some months ago, there might
have been room for doubt to those
who were not initiated into the
good things that would come, who
knew nothing of the great plans
moneyed men were laying for the
building of a town. Yet at that
time, while there was some room
for doubt, most of those who care-
fully looked into the proposition
became enthusiasts, and where
they had money to invest, planted
it in Aransas Pass property.
As the weeks roll by, the ele-
ments or chances for a doubt
slowly fade into, the background,
and cfay by day the certainty of
building, a large $ea port city at
this point becomes more and more
certain.
V.' • ' ' 1 *• O; :
Aransas Pass town is fortunate
as to her location. Located only
six miles from the Gulf of Mexico,
connected by a system of canals
being now dredged, she affords
the most quiet point for the hand-
ling of the shipments that will be
found here on the southern coast.
Surrounded by truck farming land
that is not excelled anywhere in
the state, she has already built up
an enviable reputation for the
shipments of the earliest spring,
and latest fall vegetables. Some
seventeen feet above the level of
the gulf, and
chains of islands
the water, she is
terference from
winds. She is fortunate again in
having as her backers men of in-
tegrity, of worth, industry, and
last but not least, men of money,
who realize the great natural ad-
vantages, and are not slow to real-
ize and make use of them com-
mercially.
This is shown more forcibly by
the fact that Burton & Danforth
are now engaged in dredging a
channel from the mainland at this
point, on a direct line to connect
with thirty-two feet of water in
Aransas Harbor, which govern-
ment experts have pronounced a
most perfect natural harbor for all
vessels. With the completion of
the channel, wharves and docks
are to be established on either
side extending to the harbor, and
it is known that more space will
be furnished here for loading and
unloading vessels than will be
found at any other harbor in the
south.
Every condition points to the
building of a large city. It may
take two years, it may take five,
but it is as sure as the future can
be foretold, and those wh© have
taken the trouble and pains to in-
vestigate the proposition are back-
ing up the foregoing statements
with investments of money, on
which they expect to realize many
fold. The Progress does not and
cannot believe they will be dis-
appointed.
