Newspaper Pages in Spanish
It was under J.E. Hanway's management that Spanish was introduced to the newspaper.
Arambula noted that the Laredo Times became the first daily newspaper in Texas to include Spanish material in its news columns and advertisements. The bilingual presentation of information was improved during the William Allen years.
William Prescott Allen, who also published newspapers in Colorado and Alaska, improved on Hanway's initiatives. At one time, the newspaper had correspondents in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, and Saltillo. He also engaged the services of daily Spanish-language columnists and reporters in Nuevo Laredo, across the Rio Grande from Laredo.
