GR£/1T£R Si^N ANTONIO THE CIXY OF- DESTINY AN D ■ .YOUR ' ■-: .:] The Power of Pictures One picture is worth ten thousand words. From the earliest times man has employed the power of pictures to express his thoughts simply and directly. The pictorial instinct of mankind is one of the strongest and most uni- versally persistent. Pictures speak in all languages, and in many instances, they can be made to carry a story, which it is impossible to convey by words. People see and understand pictures, long before they can read or write. Higher Publicity League of Texas (To Stimulate Truthful Publicity) ' B. A.

Securing maximum effi- OF YOUR DESTINA- TION." To let the coun- try know that San An- tonio is a modern, yet picturesquely interesting, historically enthralling — yet up - to - date city. To let the tourist know that every luxury known to the dweller of the Nation's greatest cit ies may be found here, while the visitor enjoys what other cities cannot give: Latin - American settings in distinctly for- eign quarters, the Ala- mo and the Missions, beautiful in their ruins, telling of the days of Empire- making two centuries ago, when the cross and the sword went together into the CITY HALL. SAN ANTONIO ciency with a minimum of space and verbiage has been made possible by combining the judi- cious use of the cam- era and the pen. Suffice it to say, San Antonio offers the last chance of the century to get in on the ground floor of the development of one of America's great popu- lation centers. Here na- ture has done more than her share to make rapid development and ideal homesites possible. The process of building a great metropolis has been set in motion in San Antonio and it is no wonder that men with foresight, enthu- siasm, capital, ener- wildemess to bring civilization to the savage race, gy and skill have planned greater San Antonio The object of the compiler has been to place and are working their plan. "THE STRENGTH OF into concrete form all available information and ALL FOR THE HELP OF EACH," is their slogan. ^ THOUGHTLETS r Don't put your name down and your money up, and then let go. Catch hold firmly and pull with the rest. Get under and lift; don't be a leaner. Don't be a kicker or a knocker. Don't be a drone or a figurehead. Give your home stores a chance. Be a real, red-hot enthusiast. Help your own town first. -WILMOT Somebody said that it couldn't be done, But he. with a chuckle, repUed: That "maybe it couldn't," but he would be one Who wouldn't say so till he tried. So he buckled right in, with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried, he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done — and he did it. ^un Anfonio.

Here ancient land marks are rapidly giving way to structures like those herein illusti'ated. To those who have failed to watcli the progress and development of the great resources of Texas in the last fifteen or twenty years can form but little coiicciilion of the immense possibilities there are for the creation of a gieat Metropolis at San Antonio. it has llie necessary elements wliieh go to make it the great center of finance, manufacture and commerce of South Texas. There is no element of boom in real estate. Values seem to be certain and permanent, whether it be in the heart of the city, o?' on its residence section. "When one contemplates the wonderful productiveness of the soil in the great territory surrounding and adjacent to San Antonio, one cannot help being convinced that values will, before the end of the present decade, increase with leaps and bounds. ^^BM Residence E.

FARM FACTS. The wonderful potentiality of the South Texas soil and climate is known and proven. Scientific farmers have discovered it. Here lies one of the largest pockets of fertile soil in the known agricultural world. It is the concentrated essence of fertility. The accumulated humus of centuries. It contains all the elements of plant food in the right proportion and in, assimable condition for all plants to easily derive their food during the period of growth. Everything considered, there is no part of the United States to be compared to the fertile regions of the San Antonio territory and everything points to this district as the coming center of agiicultural and horticultural activity. The following pictures will give an idea of the great variety of farm crops raised here by dry farming as well as by irrigation. ■ i Pi ^m iMfc^P^^cTS^P m ;J» '^v..;^'f^/ A """ 1 ^ -i-^ ^ - Ml ^ ^ ^^ ^^ '"' '?^^3/ - L,., ^ ^ W^ m r ^ ■ * =^ "^'*^j^^^rfB % 1 F^ Alfred Giles' Summer Home — Hillingdon Ranch This Is the Ranch Mentioned in "Texas From a Car Window," by Richard Harding Davis.

Today it is one of the prosperous and constantly "■rowing cities of the Southwest, the center of a great trade, ind a distributing point of splendid dimensions. Over two hundred industrial plants have established a most respectable pay roll. Up-to-date business houses show retail products equally up-to-date, comparing favorably with the shops of the biggest cities of the country. The jobbing or wholesale houses are equally alert and pro- gressive in their various lines, they being thoroughly repre- sentative and operating in a territory as large as the State of Ohio.

Tabloid History of San Antonio San Antonio was first settled in 1689 by the Spaniards, undei- a charter issued by Ferdinand III of Spain, which named Ihe town San Fernando. In those early days it was the frontier post of civilization and the struggle between the two civ- ilizations cljbed and flowed with the white man i)nsliing the savage back farther and fai-ther into the wilderness. In 1776 the Fi-ench, under St. Denis and Laharpe, attacked the city, but were defeated by the Spaniards. Early in the nineteenth century Americans in gi'eat numbei-s came to Texas aiul intc San Antonio, which was even then known as a great health resort, in tlie fullness of time rebellion against Mexican rule grew into armed revolt, and the Americans assumed jjowei- in San Antonio after th( battle of Conception, in which the> were victorious, October 28, 1835. When the Texans mai'ched out to defend other parts of Texas the Mexicans once more gained control of the city, but in the battle of December 5, 1835, in which Ben Milam was killed, San Antonio was taken by the Texans. Then followed the defense of the Alamo, which ratdss witii tlie defense of Marathon and the charge of the Liglit Brigade at Balaklava. This heroic sacrifice was not in vain. When the news of it spread through Texas, men rushed to arms to avenge the death of theii- countrymen. How General Santa Anna marched from San Antonio to the battlefield of San Jacinto, where on April 21, 1836, he was utterly overwhelmed by General Sam Houston and the Texans, is a matter of general history. Thus San Antonio became the cradle of Texas Liberty, and the sacred Alamo the shrine of heioism that will be levei'ed as long as patriotism and courage aiul manliood have any worth in the world. In view of her many attractions, is it any wonder that Americans, quick to see and to seize opportunities, are pouring into San Antonio, with capital, energy, enthusiasm and skill? The nuignificent developments of the past few yeais, and the wondeiful increase of tourists into San Antonio since the construction of hei' palatial Hotels, have earned for her the name, "Old-New Pearl of the Continent." San Antonio has witnessed the winds flaunt the flags of six governments to the heavens — the insignia of Spain, the Lily of France, the Serpent of Mexico, the Star of Texas, the bars of tiu' Confederacy, and the Stars and stripes of a uinted country. History, tradition, love and venei-ation, have each contributed to the develoinuent of San Antonio, which today, \vhile no less inspiretl by a wonderful recoi'd, throws open its dooi'S and invites the world to lift the latch string aiul par- take of its alwavs fenerous hospitalitv ami welcome.

We offer you a definite, concrete advertising proposition under which you will receive maximum benefits from minimum outlay — also your town and State. Higher Publicity is a strictly business proposition. Treat it so. In no other business in the world will "KNOWING HOW" play so important a part between progress and stagnation — profit and loss. Advertising propositions are as plentiful as the sands of the sea. Resultful ones for the advertiser are as scarce as the Pearls it contains. By putting this new system of Co-operative Publicity in operation throughout the United States, the HIGHER PUBLICITY LEAGUE OP TEXAS is performing an economic service for every citizen in San Antonio and deserves the earnest attention and enthusiastic co-operation of all individuals, corporations and civic Leagues who are interested in the welfare of their town. Do you wish to become a "LIVE WIRE" and aid in obtaining publicity of the right kind for your city that counts and derive maximum personal prosperity from minimum individual efforts or financial outlay? Then be quick in your support of the HIGHER PUBLICITY LEAGUE'S work and quick will be your reward. Please remember that the HIGHER PUBLICITY LEAGUE OF TEXAS has some real publicity experts on its staff who are permanently located among you and who are devoting their entire time and energies to the work for your benefit and for the commonwealth. They operate in conjunction with travel bureaus, steamship lines, the press and proven periodicals. The name of their publication is "GREATER SAN ANTONIO, THE CITY OP DESTINY AND OP YOUR DESTINA- TION," and the facts this Higher Publicity book presents about San Antonio are to encourage men to investigate the opportunities and to lend their brains and money to the development of the great natural wealth in which the San Antonio territory abounds. The profits to the individual will be the increased business growing out of the permanent prosperity of the City and State. The success of many sections of Texas now depends upon the greater development o^ their natural resources and to bring these more into the public eye in the right way by scientific and judicious publicity is the first considera- tion of the HIGHER PUBLICITY LEAGUE OP TEXAS. The path to co-operation has been made easy and plain by scientific publicity experts, who are conducting the "GREATER SAN ANTONIO" propaganda. HIGHER PUBLICITY is the real yeast in the bread of improvement and a never failing factor for good results. It is absolutely infallible. In proof we can refer you to some brilliant examples of the exact and effective working of the system. Help do something to bring our City more into the public eye in the right way. This is the crucial moment for San Antonio, hnt ni«k'' the start today. Uur pubiicauon, '•GREATER SAN ANTONIO, THE CITY OF DESTINY AND OP YOUR DESTINATION," together with our co-operative Publicity Ry^tom and Service, is the greatest medium of publicity our people ever had tho oppor- tunity to support.
