Mr. Editor: I take the liberty of sending you an item for the Eagle.
Giants are not all dead yet, for we have them in and about El Paso. I will give you a few samples:
Name. Height. Weight.
Daniel Little……………………………............………… 6-7 245
Calvin Little………………………………………............ 6-6 220
J. B. Otto……………………………………...............…… 6-5 208
Thomas Harding………………………………........... 6-4 195

And I could give you a company who measure six feet, or a little over. If any other community can beat this I will send you a few more names. The weight in all instances above is not exactly accurate, but approximates correctness.
Respectfully,
Dr. Tucker.
