title: "Crazy" Water Crystals Plant
language: English
description: The "Crazy" Water Crystals Plant was built in 1919.  Mineral water
 was boiled down in the plant, until only the mineral crystals were left.  The
 crystals became an early version of "instant food" when dissolved in
 water.  
     Radio advertising in the 1930's over the Texas Quality Network,
 direct from the lobby of the Crazy Hotel, developed a market for the "Crazy
 Water Crystals" all over the world.   
     This picture of the plant has
 been computer-enhanced.
