The Pecos Commercial club has
recently closed deal with a north
ern company for the erection of a
packing house at Pecos, and the
construction of the plant will begin
at once. The leading commercial
clubs of the state, and especially
those in the cattle raising sections,
are urging the necessity for more
packing houses, and plants have
been established in Amarillo, Sweet
water. and other west Texas towns.
1t costs about five dollars per head
to ship Texas cattle to the Chicago
packing houses and the shipper pays
the freight. If more packing houses
we're built in Texas to utilize our
surplus of livestock, five dollars per
head would be added to the value
of Texas cattle. which sum would 20
into the pockets of the producers.
This would mean s43,970,000 added
to the value of Texas cattle, which
is more than the packing houses
would cost.
