El Paso 1914

EL PASO HISTORY IN PHOTOGRAPHS, 1914

If you're from El Paso...born here or raised here...or are new to this City, you will enjoy this look back at the way it was in 1914. This little "brag book" entitled EL PASO was discovered in the belongings of Henry Van Bruggen & his wife Cornelia. It appears to have been issued in 1914 by The El Paso Chamber of Commerce, however it has no copyright information. Some of these scans are a bit tilted, but this book is old and fragile and I don't want to twist and turn it too much. It has been scanned and put here solely for the pleasure of those who visit this site, and is not to be used by anyone for monetary gain.
