present huge organization this
progressive merchandising con-
cern has become a leader in its
field. Its staff of trained, cour-

Link Tschudy Co. Gains Prominence
For Prefabricated Steel Buildings
The Link Tschudy Co., which is
located in Amarillo at 700 N. Fair-
field and headed by L. C. Tschudy,
has earned the approval and good
will of the entire area for their
well-directed efforts in provid-
ing all steel buildings for farms
and industry, as well as business
enterprises throughout this sec-
tion of the state. As the Pan-
handle Engineering, Contracting,
Fabricating and Erecting organi-
zation for Metallic steel buildings
for farm, business and industry,
this firm is providing an answer
for quick, permanent and low-
<COst construction.
Metallic steel buildings are ap-
proved for grain storage under
the government program and with
good prospects for a bumper grain
crop this year, many farmers and
ranchers have taken advantage of
this to buy the new steel buildings
which in a short time pays for
Itself. The buildings are ideal
for this purpose and are superior

to old style storage tanks for
many reasons, most important of
which is the fact that they are
available for other purposes and
may be purchased for practically
the same cost.
These steel buildings come in
standard sizes from 20 to 80 feet
in width and may be erected to
any desired length in 20 foot
sections. They can be built with
any desired window and door
arrangements. Metallic steel build-
ings are constructed with straight
side walls.
Under the capable supervision
iof Mr. Link Tschudy and his
competent staff, many Metallic
steel buildings have been erected
throughout the Panhandle area.
One in particular recently com-
pleted was the all Metallic steel
building for the Borger Junior
High School, with a seating ca-
pacity of 2,600, with a 120 foot
width and 180 foot depth, com-
plete public satisfaction has re-
sulted in a gratifying volume of
business to this outstanding Ama-
rillo concern. We wish for Mr.
Tschudy and his organization, con-
tinued success in his field of en-
deavor in the years ahead.

of Beirut is among the outstanding tourist attractions of Lebanon,
one of the Bible Lands. With its pink rooftops peeking through
green cypress trees it spreads its 70 acres of campus along the
shores of the Eastern Mediterranean in the select residential area
of the Lebanese capital. An American visitor, viewing its modern
buildings, winding drives, stately trees and brilliant semi-tropical
flowers for the first time, might think he had a wandered on to
a college campus in southern California or Florida. Founded in
1866, A.U.B. has grown to be the largest American educational
institution outside the U.S. through the untiring efforts of four
American presidents. More than 3,000 students from 51 countries,

While the death of livestock Is
& thing always to be regretted
and removal should be accom-
plished at the earliest possible
moment, no matter how far from
town you may live you need only
to inform AMARILLO RENDER-
ING COMPANY by calling DRake
2- 3655, DRake 4-6511 or DRake
3- 58 64, collect, or the local call
station nearest you, and dismiss
the matter from your mind. This
firm has won the confidence and
support of many farmers and
-stockmen throughout this section
by promptness in responding to
calls, having not only the most
modern large trucks for the re-
moval of carcasses, hut the most
dependable.
Tbere are at the present time
only two safe ways of disposing of
dead animals, namely cremating
hnd rendering. Of the two, render-
ing is to be commended, for it is
not only the most sanitary way
of disposing of the carcass, hut
it is the best from a commercial
standpoint, for modern firms like
this one transport all dead ani-
mals and utilize every portion of
the carcass.
The Amarillo Rendering Com-
pany, pays all telephone charges
and we urge our many readers
that when in need of service of
an efficient company of this kind,
to call this firm, or the local call
station nearest you.
We heartily recommend this
outstanding Amarillo firm in this
progress review issue for a fine
record of service to our livestock
men, and trust they will continue
to serve our people in the future
as they have is the past.

Amarillo Packing Company Products
In Demand By Housewives of Area
No review of the industrial and
agricultural activities in the Pan-
handle would be complete without
mention of Amarillo Packing Co.,
and their Longhorn brand of de-
pendable, tasty, tender meats
which are processed and packed
with the utmost care in their
modern, sanitary plant which as-
sures wholesome flavor and nu-
trition..
This progressive concern, which
is located at 1809 NE Third Street
in Amarillo, is headed by E. J.
Husband.
These quality Longhorn brand
meats are distributed to markets,
grocers and cafes over the entire
Panhandle region.
Amarillo Packing Company has
been a boon to stockmen of West
Texas and has afforded them a
ready market for their choice
cattle. They have indeed proven
that it is no longer necessary for
our ranchers to consign their
choice cattle to far-away markets
to obtain a top price, and that
selling them in Amarillo will both
save and make them money.
It is with pleasure in this re-
view that we compliment E. J.
Husband as ,well as all the other
officers and employees of the
Amarillo Packing Company for
their high quality Longhorn brand
beef, pork, hams, sausage, bacon,
and other choice meats which is
TEXAS MADE FOR TEXAS
TRADE.
They have indeed made a liberal
contribution to our rich trade
area and merit the patronage of
our many readers, and we wish
for them continued success which
they so richly deserve.
Plains Creamery (Seal Test) Dairy
Products In Great Demand By Public
In reviewing the leading in-
dustries and businesses of the
Panhandle area, one deserving of
special mention and prais e is
Plains Creamery, which is now
located in their modern plant at
300 N. Taylor Street in Amarillo,
where - they have spared no ex-
pense in the equipping of their
new plant with the latest scien-
tific devices and equipment to
assure their patrons of the purest
highest quality dairy products.
Plains Grade A pasturized and
homogenized milk, cream, butter-
milk, butter, cottage cheese,
orange drink and chocolate milk
are delivered daily to homes,
groceries and markets through-
out’ the area and their high
quality is known and appreciated
by thousands.
In addition to supplying the
very highest quality dairy pro-
ducts, Plains Creamery has furn-
ished a ready market to our
dairies and farmers for their raw
milk and cream. They have indeed
displayed confidence in the future
of our rich trade area in building
one of the finest creameries in
the Southwest.
The management of this ag-
gressive concern, Mr. A. F. Madi-
son, President and General Man-
ager, and Mr. Olin Prescott, Vice-
President’and General Sales Man-
ager; Guy Blanton, Production
Manager, and Mr. Horace Malone.
Personnel and Advertising Man-
ager, are men of vision and have
always been most cooperative in
any worthwhile movement that
would better our community,
especially those programs that
would tend to further the agri-
cultural interests of the Panhandle
area.
We are glad indeed in this
progress review issue of our paper
to compliment Plains Creamery
and their Seal Test products and
their able management for the
fine quality products they develop,
the cooperation they give our
farmers and dairymen and their
liberal contributions toward the
betterment of all in the Pan-
handle area.
