Saltillo, Texas, Sept. 2.
Sir:—Yea, I got your letter
me if Saltillo la still on the map
the language of one of old (yes
old bible times.) Come and see,
wiUHnd Saltillo one of the
towns of its size in Hopkins
, and If ybu can’t come just
ever add nek the Cotton Belt
they will tell you
Bros, are putting out
mere than erne Oar load of dimension
lumber (that means lumber sawed out
and shaped) every day in the year,
and it won’t be no great long time
before you will read of the great
timbers 6f the White Oaks (best of
the world) being used in all manner
of vehicles from a wheelbarrow to an
automobile or from a clumsy old stone
car to an improved pullman, and just
as aore as they make that big airship
work Saltillo will receive patterns
with orders for all timbers where
durability, strength and flexibility
are required. Won’t that be grand1?
Hopkins county is now known to
produce the best timber on the cont-
inent and is now undergoing the test
from Maine to California in the thous*
ands of hands of men who work im-
plements and machinery and they
know it is the best, besides the beau-
tiful grained oaks, ash walnut and
cherry are now in the shops of finish-
ad workmen ^io are shaping chairs,
tables, rockers, mantles bed steads
and all other furnishings, that are
going into the homes of the rich to
adorn and beautify them and they
know that Hopkins county’s timbers
aaathe most beautiful, and conaign-
are constantly crossing the
, and just as soon as we have
aerial navigation and nse-
fatness will be combined with strength
and beauty, our timbers will be used,
than Hopkins county will be better
known, for her name will be written
in the sky. - Well you say that is too
Jiigh.
