    This picture was taken in front of the Old Mission [Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de lo Mansos. See your www.flickr.com/photos/smu_cul_digitalcollections/8245873562/ ], Ciudad Juárez (formerly Paso del Norte), Chihuahua, México, The camera is most likely facing east. The scene takes place in what today is Avenida 16 de Septiembre. Wonder if the cargo is guayule (pronounce, wayoole) bushes [Parthenium argentatum gray]. A Source of Natural Rubber. A Rubber-plant of the Chihuahuan Desert. es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenium_argentatum In my home town (Torreón, Coahuila) it was stablished one of the first factories of the Continental Rubber, Co. at the end of XIX century. It yielded tires and other products of natural rubber. The bush was harvested in the surrounding semidesertic land. I've seen it and is very simmilar to that shown in the cargo. If somebody knows otherwise, please reply. Roberto Duarte Torreón, Coahuila.
