fy JM 47 BALE 1953 COTTON OKOWN IN THE US HARLINGEN'%Z MAY 2S ; vvvvr C MISSION TEXAS » ;V 2500.°° waKP HiHuum (iwmtvr.V Commmi - Foreword - - Land of balmy sunshine, tropical fruits, palm trees swaying silently in the breeze, fast-growing, beneficial crops—this land is ours, this Rio Grande Valley, and this is why we love the land of miracles. In this annual we have aspired to describe to each reader the love- liness and prosperity of the Rio Grande Valley, and show through our pictures and words just how much our home in the southern tip of Texas means to each one of us. The Rio Grande Valley has everything!—fruits raised here are sent to all parts of the nation, cotton grown in our fields makes up a great percentage of the production in Texas, and the Valley weather gives warm, sunny days perfect for trips to the beach, swimming, sunning, and just general entertainment; whereas, during the evenings, there is always a cool, soft wind blowing, making the nights of the Valley com- fortable and enjoyable. Truly, the Valley is a tourists' haven, as hundreds of snowdiggers from the East and Middle West find out each year. Businessmen find the Valley to be growing rapidly and becoming a thriving section of Texas. New plans are being put through to enlarge and improve the complete Valley. Our Rio Grande Valley has everything! We hope that the following pages will convince you of this statement. mcallen memorial library McALLEN, TEXAS
