climate of Dallas.
Dallas claims countless other
assets. It is the hub of rail, mo-
tor, and air travel in the South-
west. It is the intersection point
for four of the country’s major
tourist routes, extending from
coast to coast and from border
to border across the United
States, including the capital-to-
capital highway from Mexico
City to Washington, D. C.
Seventy-five per cent of the
crude oil produced in the United
States is brought to the surface
within a radius of overnight
train travel from Dallas. The
strength of Dallas’ banks and
their willingness to assist in fi-
nancing legitimate enterprise at-
tracted thousands of oil operators
whose business requires that they
be easily accessible to huge
sources of capital. This fact, to-
gether with Dallas’ geographic
relation to all the major oil
fields, made Dallas the recog-
nized center of the oil industry.
Two of the three largest equip-
ment and supply firms in the
oil industry have moved their

headquarters to Dallas within
the last five years, one from St
Louis and the other from Pitts-
burgh. Today Dallas is not only
the most complete oil center, but
is also the most permanent;
geologists say that no matter
where the next big discovery
may be made, whether in Texas,
Louisiana. Arkansas, Oklahoma,
New Mexico or Kansas, it will be
easily accessible from Dallas.
The once nomadic oil industry
today is concentrating in Dallas
as its permanent home.
Most of Texas' other natural
resources, many of which are as
yet undeveloped, are easily ac-
cessible from Dallas.
One-half of America's cotton
crop is produced within twelve
hours’ train ride from Dallas.
This fact has been largely re-
sponsible for concentration in
Dallas of cotton gin and gin ma-
chinery manufacture for Dallas’
rank as an inland spot cotton
market, as a farm implement dis-
tribution center, and as the
largest cotton seed products dis-
tribution center. But the agri-
cultural interests of Dallas’ im-
emdiate territory are highly
diversified. Within a 200-mile
radius of Dallas are great fruit
orchards, truck and vegetable

gardens, wheat com, onion, po-
tato, grain sorghum and alfalfa
fields. Vast cattle ranches and
huge stands of timber and other
resources are equally accessible.
This diversity of interest has
been one of the chief factors in
Dallas’ rapid growth. As the
great buffalo herds of pioneer
days were killed off, the fertile
black waxy soil of North Texas
was turned by the plow. A city
which has been the world’s
greatest market for buffalo hides
turned to saddlery and harness
as its first industrial enterprise.
In the early 1870’s the era of
great railroad development began
in Texasc. Dallas waged a suc-
cessful fight to become a major
rail center. There followed other
enterprises in great variety. Dal-
las became a concentration point
for farm implement houses.
Wholesale dry goods and ready-
to-wear houses were located in
Dallas because of its central po-
sition in the richest area of the
Southwest.
The volume of banking busi-
ness in Dallas regularly exceeds
the totals of other Southwestern
cities. Dallas is the home of the
eleventh district Federal Reserve
Bank, and of the first and second
largest banks in the entire
