OF the Talked of Refrigerator Works at
San Antonio.
The Texas Stookman and Farmer pub
fishes the following opinions on the re-
frigerAtor works:
HENRY ROACH, DEL. RIO:
Refrigerator works at san Antonio
would prove great blessing to his por-
ton OF the state. | feel sure that this
section would be able TO furnish large
proportion of the number OF beeyes and
muttOns required, and this is especially
true IA regards muttOns. This county
Wal Verl.) alone would, with proper
enceuragemcnt, furnish nearly or quite
30. 900 head OF mature anu fat wethers.
As to the advantages Of such an enter
prise TO the stock interests Of southern
and western texas, they can hardly be
over estimated. II properly organized,
and managed upon business prime pies,
it will make money for its owners and
patrons.
COL. $. P SIMPSON, EAGLE PASS:
Eagle Pass alone can furnish enough
beef and mutton TO -un email estaD-
lishment Of Ih-t kind. And rs TO NUT
ton, they can be furnished in large nuiH
brrs. or course you understand thar u
such an establishment WAS at san anio-
mo. IL would be unnecessary to continue
such an industry here. But II IL an uU-
doubted ia that either san Antonio or
Eagle Pass must do this thing IN view 81
the Necessity that exists in this neigh
borhoOd alone, to say nothing OF the
numerous lncaiitI-n all tributary TO san
Antonio The region around about San
AntnnI" il the best stock country In the
United States.
NJ. b. PULLIAM, SAN ANGELO:
As san Antuuio ia fast becoming
yrrnT railro-d center, and Is the center
ut one OF the largest grazing districts L.
he world, | consider, II has no eoual for
the lOcaiI Il OF n large refrigerator a.
TO the supply Of meat cattle, do"t hes.
itnTe to say that Us soon rs u becomes
generally known that san Antonio has
market for all classes OF tat cattle, cattle
men from rs far north AS Tom Green
county and west to I'll Paso county, will
turn IhrIr attention 10 that marx To-
.tead Of st. Louis and Chicago; and fully
supply the demand:
HON w SCOT. RERRvlLLE:
The subject Of meat, including beef
and mutton, adjacent to your city Is
more than adequate to meet the de-
mands of any refrigerating establish
ment that will ever be put in operation
in San antonio. The mountain section
alor., in which the writer lives, would
run 1t for years. Kerr, kimUle, Mason,
Gillespie and Bandera counties are all
within easy reach OF your city. and are
full of stock lit for such use. Your en-
Ierprise would be blessing to them all.
GEO. 8. WILLIAMSON, PRO COUNTY:
There Is no trouble about the requisite
supply OF beet and mutton, and now Is
the time to start the scheme.
JOHN A. KERR, CoTULLA, TEX:
Such an establishment would not only
make a home market for our meat sup
ply. but II would mark the beginning OF
an era OF development that we hardly
dream of at present. San Antonio 10 the
best point In the state for tuCh works.
ASHER RICHARDSON, DIMMITT COUNTY:
think there would be no trouble In
getting fat stock enough 10 keep the
works going.
JAMES +. SCOTT, SAN ANTONIO.
think by the time the works are
ready, there will be no trouble about an
adequate supply OF beeves and muttons,
it will be good day for Texas when 1t
happens.
w. SINNER, SAN ANTONIO:
That's our only salvation. II 1t Is
practicable at st. Louis, it Is practicable
at San Antonio, and | would rather see
1t here.
COL W. D. PARISH, sEGUGN:
This county could furnish not less
than six thousand fat "8ttle. There
should be no question as to getting fat
stock enough to run such an establish
ment In San Antonio.
A. D. POSTERT, ATAsCosA COUNTY:
While such works would benefit
every body owning stock in this part Of
Texas, it would be Of special b. netit TO
the small owner, who has not beeves
enough to justify shipping to far away
markets.
