In displaying the advantages of any
city with reference to Its commercial
and manufacturing resources. no
method affords so complete a repre-
sentation as that which depicts fully
the various corporate and Individual
enterprises. Among those progressive
industries which characterize the grow
ing operations Of Fort Worth, the Fort
Worth packing company is the largest.
This gigantic institution is located just
outside the northern bounds of the city
and covers Ave acres OF ground. Its
officers are G, W. Simpson, president,
and c, w. Simpson, manager. These
who have by their energies and push
built up this gigantic businss. This
industry is one Of the greatest value.
not alone to Fort Worth. but to the
state at large. Here the cattleman and
the farmer find q ready market for his
hogs ana cattle. The Fort Worth pack
ing company commenced operations
under its present management Decem-
Der 4, 1893, and since that date 1t has

idea may be ascertained Of its gIganuc
proportions. The buildings are OF
stone, four stories high, aud substan-
tial The plant 81 constructed upon
modern principles and is one of the
most convenient in the country and 10
equipped with the latest improved ma
chinery for the handling of all kinds

In the operations of the establishment
between 100 and 200 men are given EN-
p.oyment, the pay roll last year
amounting to $4,000. They have a cold
storage capacity of 100 tons.
Their shipping facilities are superb,
being Situated on the st. Louis and
Southwestern, Santa Fe, Fort Worth
and Denver City, and Rock Island rail-
roads, and being in direct connection
with every road running out of the
city.
1t has been the policy of the COM
pany to make quality its chief aim
ana object, and to turn out the best
grade of hams, lard. bacon, etc, in
the market, and that this aim has
been I'M excellent one is demonstrated
by the enormous sales of the inetitu-
ton, throughout the Southwest.
They are also making Il specially
Of all kinds OF sausage and have built
up an excellent trade In this depart
ment Ably ofIlcered and managed,
this plant is fast building up, Its pro-
ducts, comparing favorabiy with any
IN tue country, are finding a large and
ready sale. To Fort Worth II is worth
IT'S weight in gold. To the state 1t Is
an institution with which Texans can
point with pride, and In IFS future oper-
atoms 1t should receive the active CO.
operation OF every ono who believes in

of unparalleled success.
