THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS IS

Gaagrew* approved the Texas

Picturesque details that we
would expect in a newspaper to-
day are lacking. An extra of the
Austin democrat issued the next
day contents itself with the mea-
ger statement that "{'reparations
were made for thin event by dec-
orating the Capitol with flags, etc.
Their excellencies, the President
and the (Jovernor-elect, made
their appearance, attended by a
Joint committee of both Houses,
and escorted by the United States
officers of this station. A.fter
being Introduced, seated, etc., a
prayer rich with the fervor of the
Christian patriot, was made by the
Hon. R, F. H. Haylor. He was
loudly applauded. The President
then arose and delivered his vale-
dictory. He was loudly applaud-
ed. The oath of office was admin-

President Jones's speech ended
with an eloquent paragraph that
is often quoted: "The lone star of
Texas, which ten years since arose
amid cloud over fields of carnage,
and obscurely shone for a while,
has culminated, and, following an
inscrutable destiny, luis passed on
and become fixed .forever In that
glorious constellation which all
freemen and lovers of freedom in
the world must reverence and
adore—the American Union
((lending its rays with its sister
stars, long may it continue to
shine, and may a gracious heaven
smile upon this consummation of
the wishes of the two republics
now joined together in one. 'May
the union be perpetual, and may
it be the means of conferring ben-
efits and blessings upon the peo-
ple of all the states' is my ardent
prayer. The final act in this great
drama is now performed. The
Republic of Texas is no more."

It's not the dealer's fault. We don't think it's our fault.

Out of the 2,485, 138 oppitances manufactured in 1944 and 1945, General E/etfrit shipper1 98°o.
Aftfr the war ended, wo weren't able
to get hack into production of some
appliances as soon as we had hoped,
and production rates weren't as high
as we had hoped. A numlier of unfore-
seen things like material shortages made
the joh harder.
But there were only 120 days be-
tween V-J Day and December 31,1945,
and in those 120 days we partly recon-
verted our factories from war to peace-
time goods and got production started.
During the year we t urned out 2,313,791
electrical appliances. •
We shipped these appliances out
practically as fast as made—so fast
that at the end of the year more than
98 per cent of those we'd built since
reconversion began were out of our
factories. Most of them were in the
hands of users.
Then, on January l.r>,in4fi.our plnnta
were closed by the strike. Not a single
electric home appliance has been built
or assembled there since. And, because
our warehouses are practically empty,
your dealer won't l>e able to obtain
any more until we can pet back to
making them.
► We want to pet back to producing
as fast as possible. The manufacturing
organization is set up; the machines
an? ready, waiting to be set in molion.
These factors will help us to do an
even faster job then we did in the
months Ix fore the strike
But we can't pick up product ion quite
where we left off. Production lines
are too complicated for that. A great
many thin;- have been dislocated by
the st rike.
When the strike is over, and the
refrigerators and toasters and radio s
you've Ixvn waiting for begin to come
off the lin>'s again, we'll get them into
hands of otir dealer^ list as fast as we
can. They'll be competitive in price.
They'll beCteneral Electric quality
So, please (loti'l be impatient With
your dealer—or with us.
