Genuine Navaio Blankets 



My business is done directly with the Navajo Indians, whose 

 reservation is near Aztec. I make trips to the reservation 

 and purchase the best in the line of Navajo rugs and blankets 

 direct from the Indian weaver. I have no middleman to pay. 

 Why pay $20 to $50 for a Navajo rug or blanket in a Chicago 

 store when I can sell you the finest quality from $5 to J35, 

 depending on size. If not satisfied after examination I 

 will refund your money, and I refer to the Citizens Bank of 

 Aztec as to my responsibility. Before buying a Navajo rug or 

 blanket write me telling me size you want and get my prices.

Irrigators, Attention! 



WE have a district of independent water-rights. 

 No weeds from a community ditch, no wait- 

 ng your turn for water, no chance for water-thieves to 

 steal your water. On the other hand, our farmers have 

 water whenever they want it. It is the purest water in 

 America. The original water-right costs but $20 or 

 $30 per acre, and is based on the most dependable 

 supply of water for irrigation on the globe namely, 

 on the great underflow of the Mimbres Valley, which 

 has a watershed of 1 ,400 square miles and a pumping 

 area of only 125,000 acres at the most. The lift for 

 water varies from 1 5 to 1 00 feet, and with improved 

 devices for raising water, every well-informed man knows 

 that where abundant water can be secured at such a 

 lift, the pumping plant makes the surest, cheapest and 

 most dependable water-right in the -world. We have 

 it here. Also low values. It is just the sunniest and 

 most beautiful valley in New Mexico, and just the place 

 to build a cozy country home that will make you and 

 your family independent for all time to come. Now is 

 the time to get in on the ground floor. Less than five 

 per cent of the irrigable area is reclaimed. This, of 

 course, means rock-bottom prices. Write Secretary, 

 Deming Chamber of Commerce, Deming, N. M., for 

 a booklet describing the best irrigation proposition in 

 America. Don't wait. Write now.
