We don't believe we can cut out a single one of our present transit stocks
without losing some business to competitors with the possible exception of
Robinson Public Warehouse - Houston, which we expect to close.
Houston Central Warehouse - Houston
This warehouse carries a booad line of groceries primarily for fill-in
pick-ups by wholesale grocers. While the grocers as picking up other items
they like to fill out with sugar. They also give us very good service when we
have to rush out a number of cars before a market move.
Union Transfer - Houston
We have used this storage primarily for rail transit because they give us
the best service in Houston. We need more than one transit warehouse stock
in Houston because when we have heavy demands for that type of service we
find that concentrating this type of transit stock in one warehouse puts us in
the position of not being able to get enough cars loaded out in the specified
time. We really need 2 or 3 stocks in Houston.1952
