The Situation was born for the purpose
of assisting the manufacturers of Houston
and OF Texas IN their struggle for them

especially of Houston.
With this end in view the proprietors
OF the Situation BEGAN the organization of
the Houston ManufactureN association for
the purpose OF discussing each month in
their deliberations the best plans upon
whlch all can act to bring about the best
results Tor themselves and our growing
city.
In our canvass for members we found
nearly all agreed that such an association
lnuld accomplish much gcld in the way OF
inspiring concert OF action aud enthusi-
asm by assisting one another in demanding
home maue goods when buying our sup
plies We also found that the dealers iii

TO be derived from the general use of home
products and viii gladly Sell the same If
demanded by the people
BY this means of cooperation the Sit
