BOOSTING PAYS
DALLAS SHRINERS HEARD
FROM.
A manufacturer of Uims and
CompreNiscs is sending a man to
Mexia to put up the proposition
of a large manufacturing plant
in Mexia.
Mr. Weslow, received a letter
tlnis a. m. from the Farmers Gin
and Compress Company with
heaikjmarten? in Memphis. Ila
said: "1 was handed one of the
circulars by you in Adolphus Ho-
tel in Dallas. 1 admired your
boos' ing spirit, aas we are
in a position to make a proposi-
tion to pla.ee a plant in your city
wild come down an*l see you be-
fore taking the matter up with
Houston or Dallas."
This its a very strong corpora-
tion. and it is to Ik- hoped we
can land this givat institution.
