• When you do your Spring housecleaning,
give a thought to the lighting in your home.
Fill empty sockets with new bulbs . . . put
larger bulbs in some fixtures and see how the
light shows up your housecleaning efforts to the
best advantage. Your house will be noticeably
brighter.
A new floor lamp or a few of the new type fix-
tures that screw into present light sockets will
give your home an added brightness and at-
tractiveness.

of the State’s crude oil production.
In contrast, Texas processes only 3 per cent of its cotton
production and none of its wool or mohair.
Petroleum refining now constitutes 41 per cent of the value
of all Texas manufactures.
