McKinney Cotton
Mill Makes Money
(McKinney Courier--Gazelle.
At the annual meeting of the diree
tors ol the Texas Cotton Mill Company
of this city held in the Business Men's
Association room, J. Perry Burnis was
elected president of this big concern
and other directors and officers were
elected as follows:
Directors It. L. Waddlll, J. S. Heard
S. D. Heard, J P. Crouch, E \V Kirk
patrisck, W. B. Newsome. E. A. New
some, Frank E. Wilcox. George Wilcox
A M. Scott. Henry A. Warden. Fred
Emerson, J L. Lovejoy, J. A. Roun
tree, and J. Perry Burrus.
Officers The following were elected
as officers: J. Perry Burrus, presi-
dent; S. D. Heard, vice-president:
W. B. Newsome, secretary; A M. Scott,
assistant secretary; and J. A. Route
tree treasurer.
The business handled by the Texas
Cotton Mill the past year was the larg-
est volume done in the history of the
manufacturing concern.
The report of the past year’s bust
ness was read and approved. In fact
the report was very gratifying to the
directors, because of the fact that the
largest volume of business done by the
mill since its erection was had the past
year.
A dividend of about ten per cent
was declared on the capital and sur*"
plus of the company. This big cotton
mill, one of the largest, if not the larg-
est in the Southwest, is the largest
manufacturing concern in Collin coun-
ty: The mill manufactures colored
patterns and is probably the only mill
west of the Mississippi that turns out
colored patterns.
The retiring president, John II. Fer-
guson, was given a vote ot thanks for
his efficient services rendered as presl
dent of this mill for the past several
years and tor the efficient manner in
which he looked after the interests of
the mill and for the exceedingly large
amount of business the mill has enjoy-
ed.
During the past year a number of
new7 family residences of the more
modern types hav<; been erected. At
present there are three other new
family dwellings under construction.
A two-story building is also being
erected at a club building for the mill
employes. The second story will be
used as a place of meeting and re
hearsal by the band, which musical
organization was recently organized
and which is making satisfactory pro?
ress. The ground floor will he us d
by the lady employes of the mill as
a place of congregating in club work
and in enjoying social meetings.
Besides the above mentioned im-
provements much money has been ex
pendtjd during the past year in making
substantial and needed improvements
lo the mill plant.
J p. Burrus. rhe newly-elected pres-
ident. is one of McKinney’s most affa-
ble and progressive young business
men. He is never idle when a prop-
osition is pul forth for the hotter
ment of his home town, and takes
the lead in commercial and civic en-
terprises. He is president of the Col
lin County Mill .t- Elevator Co. of this
city, and also owns mills and is in
♦erested in flour mills at other points
in Texas and Oklahoma. He is pvf-r
wide-awake. alert, observant and
stands four square for those things
that build up his "home town and conn
ty.
