| grandest enterprises west Of the Missia-
siprl river. The only institution that
furnisIei employment to more skilled
mechanics than any thing Of its kind hero
IL the Texas Brewing company. They
are working night and day and to make
and maintain a better article of beer than
can be had from the North, doing their
utmost to make their investment here at
home a success and furnish employment
to more men than any other enterprise
IN this city, aud still there are people that
will not patronize home industry. There
are others here that do not know to this
day that If it had not been for this brew
ing company the consumer of ice would
be paying S1.O0 per hundred for it, In
stead of % cents, as now. They do not
know that right in their own water-cool-
ers at home is the cheap and pure ice
that they are using. l will say to the
people of Fort Worth to think more than
once before you again denounce I'm IN
stitution right here ut home and pat
ronize foreign commodity, for beer
will be used fG our own sake and the
assistance of our city. We should put our
shoulder to the wheel and assist the en-
terprising gentleumen who have invested
their money right at hoWe and gave EN-
ployment TO hundreds Of heads of fami-
lies, and patronlze home industry,
Now we have some large flour mills
here, and at any time Kansas -four can
be seen in our grocery stores. How can
this bey We saw an article in one of
your late issues where Mr. Cameron
made large purchase of twenty-seyen
freight cars of wheat from farmers In the
Panhandle, and by so doing turned over
TO those farmers thousands Of dollars that
will eventually come to Fort Worth
merchants, as this is the distributing
point for that section. Now, If people
will do as they wish TO be done by,
and use Fort Worth flour they
will be natronizing man that pat-
ronized home industry by purchasing his
wheat OF the Texas farmer, who could
have gone out side of the state for It il
he would. But Kansas flour is for sale
right in our grocer's places of business,
aud some of these same dealers cry had
times, and will continuc to do so as long
as they do not buy right at home such
commodities as are in every day use ON
our tables at home. Mr.. Cameron and
other millers employ several men that
make all of their purchases at home.
and should they trade in Dallas or Kan
sas City, you Mr., Grocer. would be dis
pleased b. the employees of the above
institutions not patronizing home in-
dustries.
We also have Iron works. planning mills
ana several other places of business that
II they were patrunized us they should
be, their machinery would not be idle and
mechanics that could be employed
would not be idle and would circulate
their salaries here at home by purchasing
necessary articles for domestic pur-
poses.
Mr.. Editor, pardon me for asking con-
spicuous place in your valable paper for
this letter. l am sure If every working
man in Fort Worth would, through the
columns OF prominent newspaper. ask
the howlers aud destroyers of INDUSTRIES
here at home to ease up that would be of
more interest to them, then We thr un.
employed, could and would be able 10
hnd employment 10 earn sufficient money
to sustain life in ourselves and families
aud be better prepared to meet the cold
bitter winter that is near at hand
