Since the first Shipment 10 Great Britain and sale
OF our hnc ahd medium fabrics there in the
OF 1884, our goods have found their way to many
countries whore they had not been sold before and
as Their quality becomes known the foreign demand Is
steadily increasing.
We base our claims to compete with other countries
upon the following iacs:-rhc United States possess

The progress Of the State OF Texas may DO cited
in proof OF this statement Hor people have
had the wisdom To adhere to the specie standard
throughout the war and close hence nearly
all business Is done IN Texas ON u gold basis Her
progress IN population production aud wealth during
the last ve years probably exceeds that OF any other
State in tho Union Her largest crop no

Her crop OF 1906 is estimated at 600 co.. These

We base claims to share in the supply Of tho
markets OF tho world upon the method upon which
work our mills. Being to the on field wo

We work 56 TO 10 pounds on the average to each
spindle IN each year against average OF SO to SO
pounds in Great Britain, and wa claim that our ma
chinery IL better adapted to making honest and sub
santla abrics than any machinery elsewhere; hence
countries where good quulity aud real service arc
demanded wo claim To be able to meet the demand
fully aud Ut as low cost as any acturers
elsewhere and We submit our samples and list OF
prices IN proof OF our claim.
