so. The home patronage of our
present factories would result in
flooding them with orders and
.enable them to enlarge their
plants and make it much easier
to secure factory investment.
Every citizen in Texas can join in
this campaign and by patronizing
home industries get better goods
and cheaper gobds, as well as
provide a home market for bur
farm products.- The campaign
for patronizing home industries
will be carried on vigorously un-
til the whole state gets the “fac-
tory spirit” and then attention
will be turned toward bringing
factories to Texas.
The association has had under
advisement for some time the or-
ganization of strong business
men of Texas to visit the manu-
facturing and financial centers of
the North and East and bring
them face to face with Texas’ op-
portunities. Governor Colquitt
has agreed to head the delegation
and the committee will go this
fall or as soon as our citizenship
gets in line with progress by de-
manding that our factory pro-
ducts be “Made in Texas.” A
trip of this sort will go a long
ways toward setting Texas right
with the outside world. »
Texas is today the most invit-
ing field on the glebe for capital
and when our opportunities are
understood and our citizenship
ready to welcome factory invest-
ments by patronizing their pro-
ducts, we will experience no difti-
culty in building up a civilization
that will be a marvel-of the 20th
Century.
