They Are nearly six million Texans!
With more than two and one-half million square
sniles in the United States outside of Texas . . .
these Six Million, still prefer Texas.
Such preference is surely deserved. . . . One
thousand, ten thousand or even one hundred
thousand people might be here for one reason
* ,. but for Six Million there must be a variety
of reasons. ,
And it Is this variety of opportunity and of jj
resource which makes Texas an empire . * . and
not just another state. Six million more can come JJ
and there will still be untouched opportunities ||
for six million more. Vast thousands of miles are
here in Texas which have not yet been put under
the scientific eye to reveal their resources. V,
Texas, while its growth in population, in |
wealth, in education and in culture has been Jf
amazing, is only in the stage of surface develop- J .
growth ... a more intensified development of
all phases of balanced advancement. Industry,
agriculture?, commerce of all kind . . all are
taking on a more finished, a more competent
aspect . . . pointing toward greater and more
far-reaching achievements tomorrow.
It has been the privilege of the Texas Power
& Light Company to furnish tlie people of a pro-
gressive group of Texas cities and towns with
electric service for the past eighteen years. It is
the observation of this company that, at this
time, all the agencies for the development of the
wealth - producing resources of Texas are more
firmly set up today than ever before. Texans are
more keenly alert to the possibilities of intensive
co-operative effort.
Six million people can't be wrong. , . . Texans,!
. let's talk Texas.
