This bank wishes the Deport schools and all the
schools everywhere a year of unparalleled progress
and growth.
Forty years ago an oil guslier roared in
on a low hill south of Beaumont to open a
new industrial era for Texas.
That discovery at Spindletop started our
modern Texas petroleum industry and
made Texas the nation’s leading oil state.
In the forty years since Spindletop blew
in, nearly 200,000 wells have been drilled
throughout Texas. Over 500 separate fields
are now producing in all parts of the State.
Today Texas supplies over one-third of the
Nation’s oil and has over half of its petro-
leum reserves.
Our industry, by refining almost all of
this oil in Texas, has created our largest
manufacturing enterprise. By furnishing
cheap fuel it has laid the foundation for
many other Texas industries.
From a handful of Texans forty years
ago, this industry has grown until now,
directly or indirectly, it supports almost
one million of our people. Its expenditures
reach into every section of the State
benefit every Texan.
The discovery of America’s
