How does your family benefit
when we help bring new industry
to the Houston-Gulf Coast?
Our prosperity and future opportunities
for our children are more secure when we
live in an area that enjoys an expanding
economy. An area’s economy can grow only
as existing industries expand and new in-
dustries are attracted, resulting in greater
investments in plant buildings and equip-
ment and the creation of new job opportu-
nities. That’s why our Industrial Develop-
ment Section is constantly at work helping
attract new industry to this area, and why
we are busy telling the nation’s business-
men about the advantages of the Houston-
Gulf Coast.
Through a program of advertising in
national magazines, Houston Lighting &
Power Company’s Industrial Development
Section tells businessmen across the coun-
try about our supply of skilled manpower
. . . transportation via rail, sea, truck and
air... natural resources... markets ... and
the adequate supply of low-cost electric
power. All these factors influence the loca-
tion of new plants.
Advertising is only one of many methods
used to attract industry. The Industrial
Development Section cooperates with all
chambers of commerce in their efforts to
attract new businesses. Company repre-
sentatives seek out industrial executives
considering building new plants, urging
them to consider this area.
These efforts are a substantial aid in ex-
panding existing industry as well as in
bringing new industrial plants to the Hous-
ton-Gulf Coast.
How much does each new plant contribute to the growth of the area?
Consider this example:
Statistics based on a na-
tional survey by the
Chamber of Commerce of
the United States indi-
cate that when a new
plant is built employing
100 workers . . .

. . . with their families,
local population increases
by 359
65 new non-manufactur-
ing jobs open up and are
quickly filled
165 more taxpayers pro-
vide more money for state
and local schools, roads,
etc.
91 more children attend
local schools
Personal income for the
area rises $710,Q00
IDLOTHESII FOOD II DRUGS~
Local retailers sell $310,000
more merchandise than before
Bank deposits increase by $229,-
000 . . . more funds for loans and
mortgages
100 new households require new
homes and apartments
97 more cars are registered and
licensed
Three new retail businesses open
to serve the new workers and
their families
You can see how just one new company
benefits the economy of any community...
large or small! Multiply this by the number
of all the new plants coming to this area
every year and it is easy to understand why
industrial development is so vital to contin-
uing prosperity. Houston Lighting & Power
Company believes that the phenomenal
growth here in the past decade is just a hint
of things to come.
Right now, Houston Lighting & Power
Company is backing this belief with “Proj-
ect Enterprise”—a five-year, multi-million-
dollar program that will double our present
electric generating capacity. This huge,
low-cost supply of electric power will act as
further incentive for companies to locate
here . . . because modern business, like
modern living, depends on electricity.
Preparing well in advance for industrial
growth while working to attract new in-
dustry is the way we translate into action
our firm commitment to the future de-
velopment of the Houston-Gulf Coast.
