GOOD FOOD AT
HOUSTON BAR
Quality drinks, food and excellent
service are the reasons why the
Houston Bar. a modern establish
ment operated by Ed E Bermea
just across the Gateway Bridge, h
continuing to build up a large pat
ronage from the American side of
the Rio Grande.
The establishment is modern in all
respects, its equipment is new and
the place is kept spotlessly clean at
all times. These factors, plus music
of a marimba band and tasteful
game dinners and Mexican dishes,
account for the firm's popularity
with visitors from the American
side of the Rio Grande.
Bermea is assisted in operation
of the concern by Red Gill and Bob
Sparks, both of whom are well
known all over the Lower Rio
Grande Valley.
The dining room offers a •maxi
mum of privacy to those who wish
to enjoy a quiet meal with drinks.
Drinks also are served on the porch
and to patrons who wish to remain
in their cars.
If vou wish to make preparations
in advance for special game din
ners this can be arranged by call
ing phone 227 in Matamoros.
The Houston Bar is located about
a block from the end of the Gate
way bridge, and is in easy walking
distance for patrons who do not
wish to drive their cars over the
bridge. . . .
The firm's cafe long has enjoyed
heavy patronage from Americans,
and its game dinners and special
Mexican dishes are among the best
to be found anywhere along the
border. The marimba band also
has proven a real drawing card.

they had a good studio portrait ol
their deceased friend or relative.
Everyone owes it to his loved ones'
to hav» a picture made of himself
as he is now. Pictures need not
be made with the thought ol
death because they are the perfect
oersonnl gift for any occasion, an
individual gift no one else can give
and none more appreciated by the
true friend and the relative
There are many occasions for hav

from school, when confirmed, when
married, on wedding anniversaries,
and at any other times that wish
to be remembered.
Years of making portraits, study

duct of the Bnzendine delieates- j
sen located on North Sam Houston
Blvd.. San Benito, and operated by
Mrs Mildred Bizendine who is known
to hundreds of satisfied customers
for the quality of her cookery.

Bnzendine for party goodies. She
has pleased guests at hundreds of
affairs with her cakes and pastries
including pies ”like mother used to
make.” Fresh cakes and pies are
baked daily and also are baked on
order foi many occasions.
The secret of Mrs. Brizendtne's [
success is that she cooks her cakes

for her own family, avoiding the
use of commercial fillers, and simi-(
lar preparations.
This is only one phase of her busi-,
ness. She also serves meals
daily and many come to her place
because of the homey atmosphere
and cooking. Not only business
men but families find it an ideal
spot at which to take that meal
when they wish to dine out.
Coffee dr\kers find their favor
ite beverage just right at Mrs
Bnzendine s and drop in for their
morning and afternoon cups.
Potato chips are made to per
fection by Mrs. Brizendine. She not
only serves them at the delicatessen
itself but makes up orders to take
out. Drop by on the way home and
take home some delicacies for the
family.
The widespread belief that there
were man-made marks on the
planet Mars came about when the
astronomer. Schiaparelli, announc
ed the discovery of “canali" on the
Martian continent, and the word
•canali’ wras translated into Eng
lish as "canals” instead of "chan

All of the services and conveni
ences offered by a modern, up-to
date drug store are to be found here
at the Port-Way Drug Story which
is situated at Elevenh and Madi
son streets, opposite the Cameron

operated by R. Herrera, maintains
a large and fresh stock of drugs,
patent medicines and toilet articles
Its soda fountain service has grown
steadily since the company moved
into its new location Curb servic**
is offered on the cold drinks.
Mr. Herrera moved here from San
Antonio in 1927, selecting a site in
Brownsville after investigating the
business possibilities in the Lower
Rio Grande Valley. "I selected
Brownsville as my new location."
Mr Herrerg states, “because I felt
certain that this city was due for
rapid growth The depression, of
couse, retarded the anticipated
ga.ns, but it is very apparent now
that this section is due for a big
business up-turn."
Mr Herrera opened his first store
on 14th street in Victoria height*,
but his business grew so rapidly
that he found it necessary to move
Into the larger qarters in the down
town section. He Is well pleased
with his new site in the Garcia
Gomel Champion building. The
Port-Way Drug Store ha* been in
the new location for about seven
months.
If you are looking for an efficient
drug service or a refreshing, cool
dnnk you can find them rendered
courteously at the Port-Way.
According to an Arab legend,
the dove returned to Noah’s Ark
w.th an olive branch, and later
returned from a second trip with
red mud on its feet, showing that
1; had alighted on the ground.
Ever since then, so goes the story,
all doves have had red feet and
legs.

Katoa. between Java and Sumatra,
