"ALL TEXANS FOB ALL TEXAS"
By WIB B. Ms;h
Avoiding Depression
A prominent Texas manufacturer,
whose business has grown in th*
last few years until it requires a
New York office and distribution
warehouse, ays that if industrial
manufacturers would (pay less at-
tention to stock and bond markets,
and coyivntrate their investments of
money, time and thought in their
own business they would have little
cause to complain of hard times. The
truth is that Texans who have lost
most money in recent years are those
who have dropped it in stocks, bonds
and other highly speculative ventures
in the hope of getting rich quicker
than in the business in which they
were engaged and with the details
of which they were familiar.
liuilding Home Town
It's a joy to come across a citizen
who is both able and willing to work
unselfishly for his State or his com-
munity. Such a man is Mayor Max
Starcke of Seguin, who is a success-
ful banker, and devotes two-thirds
of his time to his city at a salary
of only $100 a month. He not only
works hard himself, but sees that
other city employees work hard. They
must be as vigilant as his bank em-
ployees and render an account of a
day's service for every day's pay.
He says that he is "selfishly inter-
ested in Seguin." The result is that
Seguin doesn't have a cent of bonded
indebtedness, but has 10 miles of
paved streets and the other improve-
ments that other cities of the same
size enjoy. Texas needs more pub-
lic officials like Mayor Starcke.
mond also works cooperatively. There
is no better strawberries grown in
the world than t Carrizo Springs,
and now that the growers know the
way, there is no reason why they
should nut continue to make money.
Brady Oil Refinery
Local capital at Bra<ly has start-
ed operation of a 3(H) barrel! a day
oil refinery. Oil from nearby fiekfe
will be used. That is a small begin-
ning, but if it can make good gaso-
line and fuel oil as the big plants
and sell as cheaply, local patrons
should use it all, and in a short while
the plant would have to be enlarged.
The way to build up local industries
is for local people to patronize them.
Itoad Building Increases
Practically $1,500,000,000 is being
spent for building new roads in this
country this year. Texas will spend
aboui.«$r.0,000,000, or one-thirtieth
of the amount. Louisiana's program
call tor $05,(Ml,000. The people have
learned that good roads contribute
f j the enjoyment of life and they
seem willing to pay for them. Most
roads are now built from taxes on
oil, gasoline and motor vehicles.
ELZNER CORNER
Hum per Grain Crops
Texas has a bumper grain crop,
but doesn't know what to do with It,
for at present prices the crop has
been producted at a loss. If the grow-
ers were able and had storage fac-
ilities it would pay them to hold the
grain for a profitable market and
fallow the land next season. When
there is not a profitable market some
industries "close down" to wait for
better prices. Maybe the country
will he driven to a Sabbatical year
in farming.
Profitable Strawberry Crop
Carrizo Springs strawberry grow-
ers are happy because they have
made nice profits this season. The
only lament is that thev didn't have
i greater acreage. They attribute their
J success largely to cooperation in
planting, cultivating, harvesting and
marketing. They worked together
for the good of all. Over a'c Ham-
mond, I.a.. 4.(KM cars of strawberries
'had been shipped at last report. Ham-
New Cuero Industry
With machinery equipment of
about $10,000 a factory is being
started at Cuero to make tents, awn-
ings, wagon covers, tarpaulins, lawn
and porch furniture. This factory
should and perhaps will use Texas-
made products and should (but will
it ?) receive Texas-wide support. It
expects to employ 25 to 40 persons
and as many more as the patronage
will justify. Build Texas by help-
ing Texas enterprises.
Texas (iauze Mills
Texas now has two gauze mills,
making gauze surgical supplies one
at New Braunfels, the other at Mar-
ble alls. Both have announced that
they are having to increase output to
supply demands for their products.
Their trade extends to many sec-
tions of the country. Both are us-
ing Texas cotton and Texas labor.
enough Texans are asking for Texas
made furniture to cause it to ar-
range for a largely increased output.
"Texans let's build Texas!"
Texas-Made Furniture
Perhaps you do not know that
you can get Tepcas-Made furniture
from Texas dealers. The finest grades
of high-priced funriture is not made
in Texas at present, because there
is not enough demand from Texans
for it, but attractive, medium-priced
bedroom, dining room, living room,
kitchen, porch and lawn furniture is
made in Texas by Texas labor. At
least one factory has announced that
Kat Texas Shrimp
At a recent meeting of progres-
sive Texans, Inc., a speaker made the
statement that he dearly loves shrimp
salad, but did not know until recent-
ly that shrimp is canned in Texas.
After trying a certain brand of Tex-
as shrimp, he announced it the best
he has ever eaten. This writer has
asked other shrimp lovers about the
Texas product. Some pronounced It
the "best ever," others had never
heard of it. Perhaps some Texas in-
dustries are a bit too modest about
letting their products be known. Any
thing worth while is worth advertis-
ing .
Alamo Memorial
That Texas is beginning to get
"Centennial-minded" is shown in the
numerous suggestions being made and
plans for a memorial statue and crypt
to be erected in bronze and white
marble on the Alamo plaza at San
Antonio, to be ready for dedication
March f>. 1036, the centennar" of the
fall of the Alamo. Many other Tex-
ans are evolving ideas to be pre-
sented in connection with a Centen-
nial celebration.
To Build New Rail Line
General John A. Hulen, vice pre-
sident of the Fort Worth and Denver,
who has a way of doing big things,
announces that plans are about, com-
plete to begin actual construction on
the Denvers new line from Childress,
through Wellington bo Pampa the
latter part of June, an I that th«
work will be pushed rapidly to com-
pletion. The Dt nver line hi* always
been vigilant in the building un of
Texas.

When you throw away wilted vegetables, blackened ends of
meats ar dccaycd fruits, you are tossing away foods which
could be easily saved through proper refrigeration.
Proper refrigeration means keeping your refrigerator at
the temperature best suited to the preservation of foods and
can be obtained with either a good ice refrigerator or a
mechanical refrigerator.
If you are considering the purchase of an Electric Refrig-
erator, we invite you to investigate the General FJcctric.
