TALK.TEXAS
fW'MiXANS talked Texas to the Borden
J® Milk Company and Borden came to
Texas. The citizens of Waco--real Texans
through and through-backed their talk
with organized action, as a result of
which the Borden Milk Company is
rushing to completion a $500,000 milk
products plant at Waco.
The Borden Milk Company is now
a Texas institution. Its principal great-
ness lies in the fact that through its
use of an agricultural product as raw
material for manufacturing, it has brought
ment of the great market of which Texas
is the center. They have seen that this
market will grow in long and steady
strides. They have realized that to supply
this market economically and satisfac-
>rily ’
rodu
torily they must produce their milk
products within its confines.
This action, on the part of the Texans
who were largely responsible for it,
and the Borden Company, is highly sig-
nificant. Texas is on the threshold of a
comprehensive dairy development
will have a more far reaching effect
upon the sound prosperity of the state
than any other program of develop-
ment which has been initiated in this
generation.

is a concrete example of what talking
