Texas Manufacture
ing Industry

An exposition OF the manufacturing
Industries Of any city in Texas is Of
large interest, for the showing it makes
to the public Of our advancement along
that line. Texas Is not counted among
the manufacturing States, but it is q
fact that we are growing more and
more independent of the factories of
the Fast, and are making at home a
large part of the finished products our
people consume.
A step was taken by the people OF
Fort Worth last week that cornmends
itself to our state pride. The manu-
facturers of that city met and request
ed the directors OF the National Feed
ers and Breeders Show to give them
the basement of the Coliseum building
for an exhibit of their products, dur
ing the great Fat Stock show. March
IA to 10. To This request q favorable
reply was given, and not only the FIT.
Worth manufacturers will profit by
their action, but enterprising manu-
facture rs in other cities may take part
in the exhibition.
AS the Fat Stock show has grown in
few years from small affair, with
a score or two OF bulls and cows tied
in shelterless stalls, to the greatest
live stock exposition in the country
outside OF Chicago, with $3.50, 00O
building, seating 5000 people. and an
arena in the center 80 by 200 feet in
size, and acres or houses and coTered
sheds to shelter the stock, so we may
hopefully look forward to as great q
growth in the exhibit manufactures.
The Coliseum building, where this
exposition is to be held, is one Of the
largest and most imposing in the
country, having frontage of I7e feet
and depth of 270 feet. 1t covers
more than an acre OF space, and is so
generously provided with windows
and skylights that 1t is almost as
light under the root ss outside.
