Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Walter G.

partment OF the Southwestern Telephone
aud Telegraph company. said 10 Post
reporter. Would you believe 1t possible
that a factory could be started In Hous-
ton within a stones throw OF the office of
rhe Post without any knowledge of the
fact reaching the pubic?"
The reporter replied that such a proceed
ing would be hardly probable, whereupon
ne was invited to accompany Mr.. .Sueed on
Il visit to Houston's latest factory.
rhe new factory was found on the sec
ond moor OF the westheimer building on
Caroline street and when the reporter and
Mr.. sneed entered the building several
men were busy making battery boxes and
backboards for telephones. The factory
is owned and operated by Mr.. George II.

lures and started the plant In such
quiet way that few people on the outside
knew thnt such an enterprise was even
contemplated

seen a large number OF the finished boxes

OF hem are made
Mr. Sneed stated that II Is his policy and
the policy OF his company to purchase
material as near home as possible and
that he had recently placed a large order
for cross arms with Beaumont con-
cern.
I The battery Jokes and backboards made
! by Mr. Blnke's factory will be used by
Mr. Sneed's company IN preference to the
