SOAP AND LARD
FACTORY COMING
The Texas Refining Co. Has
Practically Decided to
Erect Plant Here.

A compound lard refinery and soap
factory to produce all grades of these
PasO and it is probable that a plant
for the production of these staples, to
cover an acre of ground, viii be erected
IN FL PasO soon.
John d. Middleton. general manager
of the Texas Refining company, of
GreenVllle, Texas, was here this week
In conference with secretary A. W.
Reeves, of the chamber of commerce,
and was investigating the field which
has been carefully studied by the COM
panyS local representatives Mr.. Mid
dIetOn has gone to Fort Worth, and be-
fore leaving, he reached a decision to
continue the preparations for the in
StalattOn of a plant which is expected
to be in operation by January first,
1914 The site and exact cost of the
plant have not yet been determined,
but the plant viii mean an extensive
addition to the manufacturing colony
of FL PasO.
VIII supply Large Territory.
The plant when erected will not only
supply the trade territory served by
Ell Paso, including the three states and
the republic of Mexico, but will manu-
facture soaps which will enter the field
in competition to the St Louis, Chicago
and other eastern factories. The plan
for locating such a project here has
been under consideration for several
months by the Texas Refining COM
pany, and it was a question of lOcat-
ing it in Ell Paso or New Orleans. Ell
PasO won and this will be the distrib-
uting point for the entire southwest.
The company manufactures the Elk
brand of Texas compound, which is
well established in the Ell Paso and
trade territory tributary to this city.
1t has been on the market here and
throughout Arizona, New Mexico,
Texas and Mexico for the past 10 years
and the local and southwestern dealers
viii be supplied from the local plant
as soon as it is completed.
Asks No Concessions.
Mr.. Middleton asked no concessions
or favors from El Paso or the chamber
of commerce. He said that his com
pany realized the commercial value Of
this city as a distributing center. and
wished to avail itself of this advan-
tage- It is probable that he will man
age the plant here in person, and that
in addition to the addition of the re-
finery and soap factory, the city will
have the addition of a Texas manufac-
turer of wide experience and estaD-
lished reputation.
c. F. Waugh & Co, who have been
the FL Paso representatives of the com
pany, will act as sales agent for the
plant for FL Paso.
