And I he explanation for this great stride for ward can be given in one word -oil. The bluest ?gusher' the world bus eyer kuowu hun drilled near Tauipico in Hh?H. and scores of other liuge streams of oil have been opened up in the same vicinity since. 'Hundreds of millions of gallons ??f oikhnve passed through Tampici/. and the town hus J.) ecu the financial and business head quarters for fields many miles away. "Money flowed easily into the pock ets of a large number of American managers and technical workers who were brought in, unci into the hands of Mexican landowners, merchants and day laborers. The World war raised the demand for liquid fuel to unheard of heights and it seemed thut everyone in Taniplco was becoming wealthy. Conditions closely paralleled those ill the oil towns of tile United Stales. Silk shirts were not the vogue thalf* they were among the loungers along evoj-y American Main street, but in their way Tampicaus became equally as proficient, spenders.

Rents soared until ordinary accommodations i<>r Americans could not be obtained for much under .<jm jo $:too per month. "Because the after-the-war Indus tries of the world required petroleum no less than did the navies of the fight ing nations during the war, Tamplco's prosperity continued after most other communities whose business was quickened by the war were experi encing a setback.

"Although TaiiipleO owes Its pros perity predominantly to oil, it lias other factors, that contribute to Its im portance. Thanks to a railroad from Monterey, connecting with the mining region of north-central Mexico, and to excellent harbor Improvements, the town Is an important port of entry and export. It has surpassed Vera Cruz in the hulk of commodities han dled, though the latter city probably is the port of entry for products of greater aggregate value. "The city of Taniplco is not direct ly on the sea coast. Hut Is situated a few miles up the I'anuco river, which is broad and deep and afford?- am !.<?r age for a large number of ocean-going ships.
