VOLUME I
HOWE, GRAYSON COUNTY, TEXAS, NOVEMBER 28, 1963
NUMBER 23
HERE'S HOWE
By Mame Roberts
BID YOU KNOW?
Howe’s history includes an
important chapter, Howe’s
grain fame. It is said that
Howe was the largest inland
grain market in the United
States—and Texas at the turn
of the century, 1900 and on.
Centrally located, in a big-
grain area, with big crops,
grain flowed into Howe and
out by the million bushels. A
familiar sight on the roads
leading to Howe were mile-
long loaded grain wagons
waiting to be unloaded and
marketed.
With prominent business
men on the spot, building
elevators, the grain business
grew into national promi-
nence.
GBR Smith started Howe
on the road to grain fame
Smith and his family came to
Howe from Georgia and set-
tled on a farm east of Howe.
After several big crops made
on the farm, the Smith family
moved into town and started
the GBR Smith Grain Com
pany and built a big and pro-
fitable business.
Among other prominent
grain dealers in Howe was
the late J. A. Hughes who
became one of the leading
grain men of Texas. For
years the Hughes Grain Com-
pany led in grain shipments
to coastal ports.
The Howe Grain & Mer-
cantile Company owned by
prominent farmers of the
area and managed by J. M
Hodeshell bought and shipped
a vast amount of grain
Howe’s grain fame would
not be complete without
