The Alamo Iron Works the Foremost
In The State.
A Mammoth Manufacturing Estab-
lishment In This City Which Can
Compete Successfully Wit]j
Northern Enterprises.
For progressiveness and advance-
ment no establishment in the south can
eclipse the Alamo Iron Works of this
city. A Light reporter made an In-
spection of the mammoth plant of this
company which covers the entire block
bounded by Santa Clara Montana and
South Walnut streets yesterday after-
noon In company wrth Mr. Eugene
Holmgreen and there beheld a scene of
thrift good management industrious-
ness and contentment among the em-
ployes not often seen in a large estab-
lishment of this kind.
What was considered most remarka-
ble Is the great rapidity with which
this establishment has grown. It was
established in 1878 by Mr. George
Holmgreen and by continuous and ar-
duous labors of himself and sons it has
steadily advanced until now it covers a
floor space of 26000 square feet includ-
ing shop room ware houses etc. The
continuous working force who are used
the year round numbers from forty to
fifty men. Among them there are yet
a number who were with Mr. Holm-
green when the foundry was establish-
ed. Of the entire force each man aver-
ages having been in the employ of the
company of from 12 to 15 years and
some even longer. The men appear to
be a happy contented lot of individuals
and the majority are property owners
In the immediate vicinity of the works.
One of the most remarkable pieces of
machinery seen throughout the mam-
moth establishment was a steam ham-
mer manufactured entirely by the
company in their own shops and by
men who learned their trade there as
boys. This hammer has just been com-
pleted and being the only one ever built
in the state speaks well for the enter-
prise of the firm. It is a powerful piece
of machinery and weighs 13.000 pounds
one of the castings the largest single
piece weighing 3850 pounds. It was
cast in a solid piece by a man who
learned his trade in the place. The
hammer is 10x26 inches and has a force
of resistence of 64500 pounds being
powerful enough to reduce an 8-inch
shaft at one heat. This hammer will
be used continually in the works here-
after.
This foundry is meeting with great
success in the manufacture of various
patents exclusively their own such as
pumping jacks well drilling machinery
and farm machinery of all descriptions.
They make the manufacture of ma-
chinery of their own patents and from
designs a leading specialty and are
daily covering territory throughout the
state heretofore occupied ‘by other less
progressive enterprises.
They are also building up an exten-
sive trade for boilers wind mills gin
machinery and such articles for which
they are manufacturers’ agents of the
leading makes.
The foundry department of this mam-
moth enterprise is also kept busy sup-
plying difficult designs of artwork un-
procu?hble outside of the large northern
foundries except from them. They
make a specialty of executing artistic
and difficult brass and' iron castings
for which they are continuously flooded
with orders. .

On a visit to this establishment we
found everything in tip top shape for
their coming spring and summer trade
on soda and mineral water. This is
the pioneer carbonating establishment
of West Texas and their trade excels
by far that of any competitor for the
reason that their motto has always been
’•NOTHING TOO GOOD FOR OUR
CUSTOMERS” and in consequence the
soda drinkers recognize the superior
quality of anything bearing their name.
As to cleanliness. We found there
the latest improved machinery for
cleaning bottles and the machinery for
carbonating shine like a brand new dol-
lar.
They have added largely to their plant
in the way of machinery and bottles
and are in a position to fill all orders
promptly besides they win introduce a
number of new drinks which will be an-
nounced in the Light when ready to
put on the market. It

A NOBLE DEED.
The Master Plumbers Perform an Act
of Charity Which is u Monu-
ment to Them.
When Southern Pacific passenger
train No. 19 arrived in San Antonio
from the west yesterday afternoon a
woman and four children were on it
on their way to High Hill near Schu-
lenberg. The woman who is the
mother of Che children did not have
the fare for one of the children and
she was compelled to discontinue the
journey ip San Antonio.
The sad circumstances reached the
ears of the Master Plumbers who were
preparing to leave on their special ex-
cursion train for Mexico on a week’s
jaunt. They immediately took up a
collection from members of the party
and before their train was ready to
pull out the sum of $43 had been raised.
This was Cheerfully given to the un-
fortunate woman who thanked them
with tears in her eyes. The plumbers
then decorated the children with their
badges and bade them farewell as the
train pulled out for Mexico.
The woman and her four children
left for High Hill on No. 17 last night.

SECRETARY SHAW’S REPORT.
The Galveston News of yesterday
morning contained the following para-
graph in its report of the State Y. M.
C. A. convention:
“Mr. A. W. Shaw general secretary
of the San Antonio association repor-
ted that a year ago the association
was $2500 in debt and cramped for
money to pay expenses. Since then
through the generosity of a lady of
San Antonio and the efforts of the
state secretary and international sec-
retary the debt had been paid but a
new debt of $l5OO accumulated. The
condition of the association up to Jan-
uary 1 1893 was bad. On that date
they called on Assistant Secretary
Hutchisson and since there had been
marked improvement. The prospects
now are that the debt can be gotten
rid of and all expenses paid.”
