Aid Small Industries
Longview, Texas, Feb. 19—As
an aid to small industries seeking
locations, the East Texas Chamb-
er of Commerce will conduct a
survey of more than 200 communi-
ties and towns in its 72-county
area to determine the number of
buildings now vacant, Hubert M.
Harrison, vice president and gen-
eral manager, reported today.
In addition to seeking data on
the number of vacant buildings in
the area which may be used by
small industries, the survey by the
Industrial Research and Develop-
ment Department of the East Tex-
as Chamber of Commerce will re-
quest information from the vari-

turning in fire alarms. In too many
cases persons turning in the alarm
are excited and will give only
partial directions, which result in
lack of information and unneces-
sary delay in arrival of fire fight-
ing equipment.
The Mayor has asked anyone
giving an alarm to give adequate
directions about location of fires
and to remain on the phone until
he gets all’ the information he
needs to direct firemen to the
scene.

Veteran Farmer Buys
Surplus Barrage Balloons
Houston, Feb. 18—Robert S.
Beesley,, of Route 1, Cedar Hill,
Texas, intends to bring the. gov-
ernment’s surplus balloons down
to earth with a vengeance.
Beesley recently obtained a vet-
eran’s priority certificate and plac-
ed an order through the Dallas
WAA office for ten surplus bar-
rage balloons, part of a national
offering of 4,000 on sale last mon-
th. The order was forwarded to
the Office of Aircraft Disposals,
War Assets Administration, Wash-
ington. '
The young veteran plans to use
the balloon fabric as covering for
his chicken houses and farm
buildings. He figures all he’ll need
do is slit the balloon bag and tie
on the fabric with the anchor rop-
es.
There is some possibility, though,
Beesley said, that during a wind-
storm some of his chickens may
get a free ride.

Mr. E. Carl Sorby, Vice Presi-
dent of the Geo. D. Roper Corp.,
Rockford, Illinois, and one of the
gas appliance industry’s outstand-
ing spokesmen, will be the featur-
ed speaker at Houston Natural
Gas Corporation’s annual coopre- '
ating dealer meeting scheduled
for the College Inn in Houston,
at seven p. m., February 25, 1947.
More than 100 dealers in gas
appliances are expected to at-
tend this meeting, including a
large number from Silsbee and
vicinity. Among those attending
from here are: Buck Jones, T. E.
Alford, A. E. Read, John K. Bow-
er, Albert McKinney and R. W.
Collier, or their representatives.
Mr. Frank C. Smith, President
of Houston Natural Gas Corpor-
ation, will preside at the meeting,
and will present his company’s pro-
gram for the current year.
• Mr. Sorby is one of the most
colorful figures in the appliance
world. He began selling as a lad
in minneapolis, Minnesota, and has
progressed steadily upward ever
since. He sold washing machines
and vacuum cleaners before tin-
ally concentrating on gas ranges.
His career with the Geo. D. Roper
Corp. began twenty .years ago, and
he became an officer of this com-
pany in 1934.
For the past fourteen years Mr.
Sorby has given much of his time
to serving the gas industry, and
has averaged no less than 125
meetings a year in that period. He
has been in wide demand as a_
speaker, and his travels take him
over the United States and Canada
to the extent of about 160,000
miles annually, keeping engage-
ments among dealer groups, utili-
ty groups and civic organizations
of all kinds.
It was chiefly through Mr. Sor-
by’s efforts that the gas range “
manufacturers united in the now
famous “CP” (Certified Perfor-
mnace) program which required
certain minimum standards of
construction and performance for
any range bearing the “CP” em-
blem. He is a member of several
important American Gas Associ-
ation committees, is chairman of
the “CP” Group, a member of the
Board of the Liquified Petroleum
Gas Association and chairman of
the Advertising and Publicity
Commttee for the L. P. G. A.
