Some of the Why's Texas Should
Build 'Em.
The question of factories in Texas
(3 demanding serious attention in
nearly every section. The people are
becoming more and more awakened
to the wonderful resources of the
State in the way of raw material,
and are beginning to realize that the
State is losing thousands of dollars
because they have not the factories
to make up the raw material into
goods and wares. The factories that
are already in operation in the State
are proving paying investments, and
it is surprising that a larger number
are not in operation. But, as stat-
ed in the outset, the people, as well
as the capitalists, are recognizing
the need of and the profit to be
gained from factories. The Trade
Eeview gives an instance in wool
grown in Texas, sold to a Texas fac-
tory, from which good money was
realized by the producer and fac-
tory. The Review also touches up
the cotton factory. We give below
what it says:
"A prominent Frio County wool
grower on the first of May this year
sold and delivered his entire spring
clip of wool to the Slayden-Kirksev
Woolen Mills of Waco, Texas, and he
has since received samples of cloth
made from this wool by this factory.
The cloth from this wool was sold
to a New York firm, and the manu-
factured sample shows that the man-
ufactured product is equal to any
like product turned out bv any wool-
en mill in this country. The grow-
er of this wool, T. B. Little, received
22 1-2 cents a pound for his clip,
which was doubtless fully as much
as he could have received for it in
the Eastern market, and he saved the
freight charges to that market, some-
thing over one cent a pound. The
manufacturers at Waco, of course,
made a profit on the cloth made from
this wool, otherwise they would not
have bought it. The Slavden-Kirk-
sey Woolen Mills have been in opera-
tion for many years, and their plant
has doubtless proven a profitable in-
vestment for the owners.
"In converting this Texas grown
wool into Texas made cloth all the
money paid out in this process has
been kept in Texas. If one Woolen
factory in Texas can be made to pay,
others can do likewise with equally
good management, and we'kuow of
no reason why practically every
pound of Texas wool should not be
converted into the manufactured
product within the confines of this
State. This should also be true as
to cotton, and we believe the time is
not far distant when Texas cotton
will be converted into cloth in cotton
mills operated in Texas. New Eng-
land has grown rich, largedy because
her woolen and cotton mills, and it
does seem that these factories could
be operated with greater profit if
they were located where the raw ma-
terial is grown."
Not only can these two products
be made into commodities of great
value to the people and save many
dollais to the producer and consu-
mer, but there are other factories
on a smaller scale that should com-
mand the serious consideration from
the people. For instance, take the
canning plants. These can be estab-
lished at a nominal cost, and yet be
made good paying investments. Re-
ports from Green Forest, Ark., are
to the effect that the canning in-
dustry has closed for the season. The
output of fifty cars was disposed of
at the track for $G0,000. Of this
amount $15,000 was paid for the
products—tomatoes, peaches, apples,
strawberries and plums; for cans,
$14,000; for help, $20,000; profits
to the company, $11,000.
The profits on the capital invest-
ed in the operation was a little over
twenty-two per cent; the amount
paid for tin cans was ninety-three
cent of the amount received by the
per cent of the amount received bv
the farmer? for their products, and
seventy per cent of the wages re-
ceived by the help.
Such industries as this are what
make a country great. Every town
of any note in Texas, especially
where such products can be grown,
ought to have a canning factory and
kindred plants. They increase the
price of fruit and vegetables, bring
ready money into the vicinity, keep
the money that would otherwise be
expended for such products at home
and tone up the community general-
ly. No thriving and energetic town
can afford to overlook the small in-
dustries especially. The securing of
a small industry today may in the
near future mean a plant of more
ixtensive proportion^
