TEXAS PROUD or THIS MILL

out as a finished product sheets and
pillow cases-direct from the factory
10 the dealer.
Texas has this unique mill. and is
mighty proud Of it, for it is an Cvi-
deHcc of the ststes alertness in the
g.est cotton industry. There are
plenty of mills and bleacheries scat
tered all the way from Maine to
Georgia. but nowhere is the duplicate
of the complete cotton mill which the
late G. w. Post established in Post
City, Cara county. Texas, down in the
South Plains" and whenever a Texan
sees goods bearing the brand "Postex'
and Cara he feels a bit pulled
up. Also he shows decided prefer
ence for these goods grown and made
in his state, which is only self inter
est, after all. for every dollar spent
for them goes back in a Texas payroll
for Texas labor, or to Texas farmers
for Texas cotton at time when they
surely need II.
Mr. Post spent part of his early life
in West Texas and the Panhandle. and
he grew to know the country well
and to love 1t and believe in its great
future. SO when he grew wealthy
he bought qu.rter of a million acres
on the edge Of the Llano Estacado, the
land of Spanish and Indian romance,
and there built a shaded city of brick
and iron and timber to surround a
cotton industry that should be the
pride of the state. He provided ample
capital and inisted that the employees
should be well paid and well housed
and the product of the mill should be
comparable with the best turned out
by any plant in the country. The
manager adopted a plan that has been
especially pleasing to the dealer, by
which any quantity of goods is shipped
direct from the mill to the purchaser.
freight prepaid. This means much, for
railroad tolls to the extent of about
10 per cent of the value are tucked
away in the price of similar goods
manufactured in the East
One great lesson the European war
is teaching America is self support
and self containment. We will soon
be making the velvets we used TO get
from Belgium, the dye stuffs and
chemicals we obtained from Germany,
and so forth, and this mill is evidence
of what a state like Texas can do in
the same line. The Fort Worth Rec
ord said recently:
Cara county does not offer the
only opportunity in Texas. There are
a hundred other counties where the
sam thing can be repeated-yes. two
hundred. And If there were two hun
dred other cotton mills in Texas they
would still take but a fraction of the
staple the state produces annually,
and they would put fifty thousand
more people at work and keep some
millions of money in Texas that now
go away"
