delegates from Texas, and
everyone a booster for Texas!.
The delegates, generally

KINGSVILLE TO FURNISH
LINING FOR FORD CARS
Transmission linings for
Ford cars are to be made in
Kingsville of Texas cotton, ac-
cording to officials of the San-
Antonio Cotton Mill Co. The
installat'or, of more than $50.-
900 worth of machinery es-
pecially designed for the manu-
facture of this particular arti-
cle i- now under way a nr! the
beginning of April will mark
:.h** beginning of shipments to \
the Ford plant at Detroit. It
is understood that the contract
with the Ford people covers
a term of several years. Prior
toth.:s time the cotton was ship-
ped to the Fast and made into
lining and then sent to Detroit
as lining.
The addition of this machin-j
ery to the local plant will add
materially to its working forces
and bring total cotton con-j
summed annually up toap-;
proximatelv 6.000 bales.
