57. The store in Progreso belonged to Alvarado and Cobos. Practically all workers on the island received their wages from the same gentlemen.

Description:
The Hacienda El Progreso included a warehouse, bakery, and store, which Nicolas Martínez (1915:39) tells us had all articles to be desired, including wines, liquors, and preserves. This image suggests that a building in the village was still functioning as a store in the 1920s.

Description:
Hacienda El Progreso issued its own currency. Workers could be paid in local bills and coins or wages could be kept in ledgers.

60. Manuel A. Cobos welcomes the Albemarle expedition to Galápagos. He strongly urges them to make San Cristóbal their terminal station.

Description:
The Norwegian ferro-concrete ship "Albermarle" left Oslo on September 2, 1926 with 78 settlers bound for Galápagos. The colonisation scheme was organized by Harry Randall (originally Petersen). Orginially planning to colonize Floreana, they eventually negotiated with Rogerio Alvarado and Manuel A. Cobos to settle on San Cristóbal.
