Alpine Climate and Commerce Spark Local Sunshine Appeal
A pep talk from Alpine touts a warm climate and rising business. It notes 276 percent bank deposit growth from 1940 to 1948, postal receipts up to 1949, retail sales climbing from 3.67 million in 1945 to over 5.5 million, a 227 day growing season, and mild summer nights averaging 62 degrees. The piece ends by inviting neighbors to visit the “Roof Garden of Texas.”
