1938 Seen as Promising Growth for San Antonio
The San Antonio outlook shows optimism with plans for a $1,000,000 expansion by the San Antonio Public Service Co and expectations of rising retail stocks. Railroad officials cite crop success and livestock growth as drivers, while real estate brokers note few desirable houses but predict higher activity aided by looser federal housing loans.
