PLANTS BOOST
FOR VALLEY
"CulIs" Of Great Orchards
Shipped to Long String
Of Texas Plants.

BEEVILLE, Sept. 26.-Beeville is
to have another bottling works, ac-
cording to L. Keith Lyons of Merce-
des, who says he will install $780,
900 plant here as soon as possible for
the purpose of bottling Delaware
Punch and Valley sugar drinks. Two
building sites have been selected and
deed will be signed for one of them
in the near future, after which the
erection of the building will begin.
The plant here will supply ware
houses in Kennedy and Sinton, and
large trucks will distribute the prod
ucts from these points to the sur
rounding communities. The Becville
plant will be one of seven which the
company contemplates installing.
USE VALLEY FRUITS.
Mr.. Lyons is a son of Thomas Z.
Lyons of San Antonio, originator of
the Delaware Punch drink and presi-
dent Of the Delaware Punch company.
he was associated with his father in
business in San Antonio until the
early part of this year, when he es-
tablished the plant at Mercedes.
The Valley sugar drinks are made
from the juices of Valley fruits. Every
year, tons upon tons of citrus fruits
are classed as culls-under size, over
weight. freak shapes, disfigured peel,
ETC., all fruit that is perfectly sound
and useful but not having commercial
appearance. The quality of the juice
is as good as the perfectly shaped and
the Valley will save thousands of dol
lars annually by having a ready mar
ket for this class of culls.
BIG CAPACITY.
The Mercedes plant has been turn
ing out a daily capacity of 1900
bottles and is unable to supply the
demand, Mr.. Lyons says. The Bee
vile plant, he says, will also have
a $4,000 daily capacity.
Mr.. Lyons produced strong letters
of endorsement from the Chamber of
Commerce and bankers of the Valley.
He is being assisted in forming his |
plans by Sid Kring, secretary Of the
Beeville Chamber of Commerce.
The plant will begin operation |
about the first of the year, Mr.. Lyons |
states.

The new note resounding in the To- cal industrial atmosphere during the past week, has been the source of wonderment to many citizens for some days For the. first few days it was the whistle in the stiffness of the afternoon, was from the railroad pile driver which has been busy replacing new supports of the Seward wharf. But the frequency with which the "tooter" was sounded off at o'clock sharp each day, lead the newspaper sleuth of the Gateway to believe some new innovation had been sprung on the unspspecting public. By a pro- cess of elimination the sleuth wound up at the Seward Laundry. Upon en- quiry, it was learn the whistle belong ed there. So that was that!

reduction measured in dollars and

feeling.
The construction industry in the
United States has reached n high
peak OF activity. More money will
have been spent in the erection of
new buildings when 1925 cio@es its
books than in any other year. some
estimates run as high as six billion
dollars; even the more conservative
give figures We'll over five billion. This
applies to all construction, but
eliminating public work, It appears
likely that the construction Of the

close to five billion dollars
