THE OLD W A Y
THE NEW W A Y
SMOKING MEAT
T he picture on the left shows how our grand-daddies and out-of-date
folks of today smoke meats.
Th e picture on the right shows the new and up-to-date way of smoking
meat.
One is the old wood sm oke and the other is the new liquid sm oke.
The new liquid smoke contains exactly the same curing ingredients as the old
wood smoke, but it requires only a very few minutes to apply the liquid smoke.
You put it on with a brush or piece of cloth. There are several advantages in
using the liquid smoke, which are as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
FIG AR O is far less trouble and exponss.
FIG AR O sm oked m eat never spoils.
SKIPPERS never get in FIG A R O M E A T.
Shrinkage is reduced by FIG A R O .
FIG A R O m akes m eat w holesom e and delicious.
One ju g of FIG A R O cures 400 pounds of m ea t.
Figaro Liquid Smoke is made by condensing wood smoke to a liquid. Just as simple as
anything in the world. Anybody with a little hand-distillery could make it if we did not have
F IG A R O patented. Then, too, having a very large distillery we can make it in large quantities
and so much cheaper than individuals.
One of the most interesting things about Figaro to a person who has never used it is that the
Figaro Chemical Company, with a capital of $250,000, guarantees all above claims or refunds
the money paid for it if it fails.
W hen you go to the store to buy the salt for your meat, at the same time buy your supply of
Figaro. One jug is enough to cure four hundred pounds and costs only $1.
D on’t be afraid of Figaro for any reason. Your neighbors are using it; w e have been
selling it for eight years; and then, we absolutely guarantee it

OPPORTUNITIES
For investment along the Texas and
Pacific Railway are worth investigating.
The country along the entire line from
New Orleans and Texarkana to E l Paso
affords great possibilities for develop
ment.
The rich bottom lands of Louisiana,
the fruit, grain and cotton sections of
North and East Texas, the irrigated
farms and stock ranches of W est Texas,
together with the many live cities and
rapidly growing towns present such a
diversification of real openings for the in
vestor, the farmer, the merchant and the
craftsman that is not found elsewhere.
For the T o u rist
There is no more interesting section of
our great domain, with a variety of cli
mate and modern hotels.
The Texas and Pacific Railway fur
nishes splendid facilities for travel
through this territory, with frequent
trains and through car service between
Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis, New Or
leans and Dallas, Fort Worth and E l
Paso.
Ten days’ stopover allowed at New
Orleans and E l Paso on all through
tickets via Texas and Pacific Railway.

It Is o f record In the history of the A m erican Continent that the builders o f rail
roads have headed the pioneers In the developm ent of new territory. “ Builders of
empires” these men are called, and m any have been given the pleasure to live to
see a ju stification of their judgm ent and the m aterialization of w ell-conceived plans.
Pushing lines of steel out past frontier limits almost into the unexplored wilder
ness, but with a knowledge o f future possibilities, railroad builders laid the founda
tion for new Territories, new States and new industrial developm ent. They have
opened up the treasures of the rugged mountains, made accessible great areas of rich
and virgin soil and made homes for the m illions. The history of railroad building in
this country is unique, rom antic and thrilling. It is a history of development, of
progress and of patriotism.
The Fort Worth and Denver City Railway
The F ort W orth and Denver City R ailw ay is a pioneer in the Southwest. Con
ceived in the minds of its builders in 1873—when three-fourths of Texas was a
wilderness of forests and grass-grow n plains, when less than 100 w hite men faced
the dangers of an almost unknown country w est of the Brazos R iver; when millions
of b u ffa lo roam ed the plains, or m adly rushed ahead of the savages bent upon their
slaughter, these men looked into the future and backed their judgm ent with their
m oney. The w ork was com pleted in March, 1888, connecting F ort W orth and East
Texas with the New Mexican border at Texline. Four hundred and fifty -fo u r miles
of steel had been laid through a country occupied by Indians and a few hardy
cattlemen.
P R O O F O F GOOD JU D G M E N T .
The com pletion of this railroad from F ort W orth northwest through the Red
R iver country and diagonally through the Panhandle was not im m ediately followed
by a rush of settlers, other than those engaged in cattle raising. The lands were
soon cut into great ranches o f m any thousands o f acres each, and though it was
recognized that the soil was rich and deep, the rainfall great enough fo r agricul
tural purposes and good w ater at a reasonable distance beneath the surface, this
great area was know n as a cow country. Cattle raising was the chief and only
occupation and agriculture was discouraged.
Such conditions, however, could not always be maintained. The farm er pushed
north and west, and during the last decade has demonstrated the value o f the land
for other purposes than for pasture, and has given positive proof o f the good
judgment o f the men who conceived and built a railroad through it.
R E V O L U T IO N IN M E T H O D S .
Supreme as a live stock country in earlier days, the Texas territory o f the Fort
W orth and Denver City R ailw ay, through a revolution o f methods, will, ere long,
support m ore cattle and hogs per square mile than it ever did in its palm iest days of
free grass. Modern, commonsense farm in g methods, which take into consideration
the nature of the soil, the altitude and the clim ate, has revolutionized stock raising.
In place of the rangy longhorn steer of the past, or the poor, but w ell-bred H ereford,
Durham and other cattle of a decade ago, the farm ers in this part o f Texas are
shipping to m arket the finished product, hundreds o f pounds heavier per anim al and
worth m ore per pound than the best o f those shipped to feeders in earlier days.
S T O C K F A R M IN G T H E T H IN G .
The w ell-m anaged stock farm , whether as a dairy or as a producer of fat stock,
is a profitable industry in all sections o f the country. There are some sections where
conditions are more favorable than others and those most fam iliar with the industry
will indorse the statement that the country through which the Fort W orth and Denver
City R ailw ay and the W ichita V alley R ailw ay pass is specially well adapted to the
production and developm ent o f fine cattle and hogs. It is at Goodnight, in A rm
strong County, where Col. Goodnight grazes one o f the few herds of pure-blood
bu ffa lo in the United States, and where this same man has produced a new m eat
anim al b y crossing the bu ffa lo with the Black Angus cattle, securing an animal
partaking o f the qualities of both, which anim al he has named the catalo.
In every county along these lines o f railw ay are fine herds of full-blooded H erefords, Durhams, Red Polls and other cattle. The old range anim al is o f the past,
as are m ost o f the old-tim e cow men.
The country has developed.
It is now
prosperous with its m any fine farm s, its m odern cities and villages, schools and
churches.
A R E A S O N F O R ALL, T H IN G S .
The rapid progress made in the development of the Red R iver counties northwest
of F ort W orth and the Panhandle, traversed by the F ort W orth and Denver City
R ailw ay, and Central W est Texas, traversed by the W ichita V alley R ailw ay, is due
to a soil and clim ate which enables farm ers and stock raisers to produce heavy crops
o f many varieties of feedstuffs. Form erly stock raisers trusted to favorable seasons
fo r grazing, and if forced by bad weather, purchased feed from other sections o f the
State to carry their herds through. The modern stock farm er is a grower o f feeds.
In m any counties alfalfa is grown, but in all counties sorghum, K a ffir co m , milo
maize, Egyptian wheat, millet, feterita and other feedstuffs are produced in large
quantities.

The Spanish peanut is proving a favorite in some counties and will succeed in

Gathered, the nuts

is worth more than coin.
Sugar beets are a fattening feed and can be produced in the Panhandle counties.
There are other root crops such as grown In other States, all of which are well
adapted to this country.

.
The advent of the silo has more than doubled the value of the feed crops o f the
Texas territory of the Fort W orth and Denver City R ailw ay and the W ichita Valley
Railw ay. Hundreds of silos are being erected in all sections. Thus are stock farm
ers able to save, not only their grains, but all their fodder. K a ffir corn, m ilo maize
and sorghum make excellent ensilage, and cattle which were once fed on costly cot
ton seed meal and cake in wintertim e are better satisfied w ith the contents o f silos
and go to market in better condition. The silo is transform ing ranches, large and
small, Into well-kept, prosperous stock farm s.
Crops are being sold on the hoof,
bringing larger prices and saving the fertility o f the soil.

Texas produces in cream eries and on the farm a total o f 69,993,000 pounds of
butter annually and consumes 110,000,000 pounds, Importing from other States more
than $10,000,000 worth every tw elve months. The opportunities for dairying in the
counties of the territory under consideration can not be excelled, but they are
especially good in W ise, Montague, Clay and adjoining counties because of the near
ness of large consum ing markets.
The woods in the cross-tim ber sections provide
protection, while w ater is plentiful and pure, and the grazing throughout most of
the year Is excellent. Feedstuffs are easily grown and the protection needed, even
for fa n cy stock, costs but little as compared with the expense Incurred by dairymen

POULTRY.
E very farm er and stock raiser can grow his own fruit and vegetables and pro
duce his own poultry and eggs. In the Panhandle conditions are favorable fo r apple
orchards for com m ercial use.
M any orchards are producing and m any more are
being set out. Cherries, peaches, small fruit and melons do well In this section.
In other counties the same fruit is grown, peaches taking precedence over apples.
Truck farm ing, while never developd on a large basis, is not impossible, as has
been demonstrated. Poultry raising is profitable and increasing in favor with the
people. In fact, the farm ers in this country have all the advantages and opportunities
enjoyed in other States and m any unknown to their old neighbors.

The Fort W orth and Denver City R ailw ay traverses fourteen counties o f Texas,
exclusive of Tarrant County, in which Fort W orth is situated. In 1900 these coun
ties had a population of 86,707. In 1910 the population was 152,241, an increase of
74 per cent. Since the census In 1910 the population has increased at more than
100 per cent basis of a decade.
Nine of these counties produced 135.100 bales o f cotton in 1908. In 1912 the pro
duction was 225.878, an increase of 77 per cent. The same com parisons will hold
good in the counties served, by the W ichita Valley R ailw ay. Progress is everyw here;
yet there are thousands of acres of untilled land w aiting the com ing of settlers—
acres as good and as fertile as any now under cultivation, and this land can be se
cured at prices ranging from $15 to $50 per acre with reasonable terms.

K a ffir corn and m ilo m aize, under feeding tests, have been proved practically
equal to the best g T a d e s of corn.
Under ordinary methods It produces a much
heavier acre tonnage and under te st methods has been known to run from 75 to over
100 bushels o f seed per acre. Both are a drouth-resisting’ crop, standing still in ex

These crops are

Pursuant to a plan cherished by Mr. Sealy and his associates when- he bought, the
M agnolia Petroleum Company, upon its organization, began to enter actively into the
m arketing and distributing business in this State. To consum m ate this purpose it
established a m arketing department with headquarters in Dallas, Mr. A. C. Ebie
being at the head of the same, and tw o divisions, a Southern and a Northern, with
Mr. J. Q. Tabor and Mr. E. M. Hackett, respectively, as managers thereof. In addi
tion to this the Company has expanded its m arketing business into the State of Okla
homa, where it has established a division with Thomas Cowden as manager, having
in operation twelve stations, and is planning in the near future to enter the State of
Arkansas. Through the activity of the m arketing department 220 sales stations and
agencies have been established in Texas alone, they being in practically every city
and town o f Importance in the State, through which the Company markets the prod
ucts m anufactured by it at Beaumont and Corsicana— so that its Gasoline now drives
automobiles on nearly every highway of the State, its Kerosene lightens homes in
every county, its high-grade Lubricants (for the m anufacture of which large and
expensive additions have been only recently finished at Beaumont) are finding their
w ay throughout the country to grease the engines of industry and the wheels of com
m erce; its Road Oils and Asphaltum are entering into the construction and upbuilding
o f the States highways, including, notably, the m illion-dollar highw ay now being con
structed in Tarrant County, and the beautiful translucent P araffine W ax made by it
is finding its w ay into channels of com m erce to supply the girls with chewing gum,
to m ake candles, to preserve fruits, to whiten clothes, to make moisture-proof paper,
to protect stone and wires from the decaying effects of dampness, to coat and pre
serve cheese and to supply the numerous other uses to which that very important
article is applied.
The M agnolia’ s business is not limited to Texas. Vast quantities o f its products
go into the trade in various portions of the United States, Canada and Europe. Prom
twelve to fifteen snip loads p-:r month leave the port of S'ibine and many car loads
are shipped from each refinery to supply the demand in Europe, Canada and distant
States or this country, from which a golden stream returns to nourish and expand he
industry at home.
In addition to this the Company imports from M exico on an average of 15.000
barrels of Mexican crude oil per day, or from ten to fifteen ship loads per month, that
is used in the supply of fuel for several railroads of the State, some industries in
Louisiana and many in this State, scattered from El Paso to Texarkana and fro-,71
Denison to Galveston.
F or the receiving of this Mexican crude the Company has
established terminal facilities at Port Aransas, Gal , eston and Sabine Pass.
The employes of the Company, most of whom reside in Texas, reach a total
number of 1,534, they being distributed all over the State at the various sales sta
tions, along the pipe line, at the refineries, at the shipnins po!nts and ail the various
offices of the Company. The payroll is approxim ately $1,000,000 per annum.
It Is one o f the M agnolia’ s cherished plans to extend its pipe line from Electra
into Oklahoma so as to connect with oil fields of that State, and it is hoped that the
word m ay soon be given to D. C. Stewart, m anager of the pipe line department, to
go ahead with this work.
The ambition of the officers and managers of the M agnolia Petroleum Company
is to build up a great and prosperous business in and around Texas, with Texas as
a nucleus o f that business; to accom plish this by open and fair methods that will
stand the test of the severest scrutiny and criticism and com e up to the highest
standards prescribed by modern thought and ethics for large business concerns; to
rovide useful and profitable employment for m any; to so conduct the business as to
eserve and evoke the loyal attachm ent and co-operation o f its em ployes, and co
earn, at the same time, profitable returns for its owners.
It is a source o f pride to every one connected with the Company that there is a
spirit o f zeal and harmonious co-operation pervading the organization. Those con
nected with it do not seem to be lacking in the faith and purpose that make the plan
o f today the accomplished fact of tom orrow.

A BriefSketch of The News
T H A S been said-that if an adequate history of Texas shall ever be
written two conditions must be satisfied: A competent historian
must be supplied, and he must have access to the files of The
News. Of the two conditions the last named is perhaps the more indis
pensable. Given access to the files of The News, an indifferent histo
rian might compose a fairly good history of Texas, while it is certain
that no historian, however great his genius, could do himself or his
subject full justice unless possessed of an immense mass of material
that is to be found only in the columns of The Galveston News.
I
The Galveston News was established in 1842. There were other
newspapers in Texas then, but none of them has survived the seventyone years that have succeeded. The Galveston News has witnessed
the passing of all that were its contemporaries of that day, as it has
witnessed the coming of all that are its contemporaries of this day.
It is the sole journalistic repository of much that is essential to the
biography of Texas since it became a civilized habitat. And when
civilization, keeping for a long time close to the coast line, stretched
so far northward and became so dense that The Galveston News could
not continue to be a State paper, The Dallas News was established 315
miles to the northward. This was in 1885. Since then the task of
recording the history of Texas as it was made has been shared by the
two, The Galveston News concerning itself more particularly with the
progress of events in South Texas and The Dallas News with the
progress of events in North Texas.
It was not merely a desire to seize a business opportunity that led
to the establishment of The Dallas News. It was no less due to the
ambition to maintain the character and influence of The News as a
State institution. This could be done only by printing substantially
the same paper in opposite ends of the State. Distance made it impos
sible for The Galveston News to serve North Texas and the immense
area of the State over which the population had expanded put hundreds
of thousands beyond its reach. These considerations and the difficulty
and cost of gathering, from a single base of operation, the news of a
State larger than the German Empire were too great to make the
attempt practicable. Hence there were journalistic as well as financial
reasons for establishing, within seventy-four miles of Red River,
another base of operations from which to carry on the work of publish
ing a newspaper that could literally serve all Texas.
The. wisdom of that idea has been abundantly vindicated. With
what is virtually one newspaper published in duplicate at almost two
opposite ends of the State, The News is able to reach fully threefourths of the State’s population before noon. B y nightfall of the day
of publication probably four-fifths of the population of Texas are able
to read The News. Texas is far and away the largest State in the
Union; and yet, notwithstanding its great distances, there is no State
in the Union so completely covered as Texas is by The News.
Other advantages than this accrue from this duality. One of them
is the greater facility and greater economy of gathering the essential
news of Texas. It is the practice of other newspapers, both in Texas
and other States, to rely on press agents and on one another in large
measure for their State news. The News relies only on its own corre
spondents, with the result that it can exercise over its news columns

It is largely because of this unrivaled organization that The News
has thus been able to earn and maintain the reputation as not only
beyond comparison the foremost newspaper in Texas, but, in point
of catholicity, one of the foremost of the United States. For because
of the fact that it has homes in opposite ends of the State and
serves every section of the State, it would be impossible for The News
to become provincial, even if it were tempted to do so. Serving so
many localities and dependent on the patronage of such diverse peo
ples, The News is compelled to regard the whole field of human inter
est as its proper province. The criticism is often made of nearly all
metropolitan journals that they have scant concern with anything that
happens beyond the confines of their own immediate community. In
a State so large and diverse as Texas the danger of becoming provin
cial or sectional is particularly great; but the fact that The News is
as equally at home in North Texas as in South Texas and the further
fact that it circulates as easily and as widely in East Texas as in West
Texas constitute reasons which render it impossible that The News
should have a constricted interest or be biased, in its opinions, by
local prejudices.
The prosperity of The News has been uninterrupted. It has
acquired a financial strength that is the surest guaranty of independ
ence. It is able to impose on both its news and advertising columns
whatever censorship its sense of right and propriety may prescribe,
and it ha? been able to form and express its editorial opinions untramelled by the fear that it might affront a mood of the moment. The
News has the largest newspaper-making plant in the South, and one of
the largest in the United States; it has one of the largest and most
expensive staffs in the country. But The News cherishes neither nor
both of these so much as it cherishes its intellectual independence—
the independence which enables it to reject the advrtisement that is
repugnant to its sense of propriety; the independence to consign to the
wastebasket the news “ story” which it thinks ought not to be intruded
into the homes of its readers, and the independence to express its
opinions, even though that expression should collide with the opinion
of the majority.
The News esteems this freedom as its greatest asset, the freedom
of having no other monitor than its own conscience. And it is because
of its jealous safeguarding of this freedom that it has gathered to itself
not merely the largest, but the best clientele that Texas affords. The
News enjoys not only the admiration, but the confidence of the
people of Texas. They know that they can put it into the hands of
tkeir wives and daughters without fear that they will see aught in it
to make them blush, and they know that The News is inspired by a
loyalty to Texas and a fidelity to its own opinions that guarantees the
worthiness of its purpose.
Reproduced from the Unclassified
a supervision that it is not practicable for any other newspaper to
exercise, if, indeed, it is possible. It is largely because of the supervi
sion it is thus enabled to exercise that The News has won a reputation
for reliability that few other newspaper can even rival, and which none
can excel. It has sentinels under its own discipline and subject to its
exclusive direction in every city and town in Texas; and in addition to
this army of correspondents it has staff men stationed throughout
Texas and in Oklahoma at points which enable one or more of them
quickly to reach any point where there is an outbreak of extraordi
nary news.

In offering the 1914 Texas Almanac and State Industrial Guide to
the public, the publishers do so with a knowledge that previous issues
have received hearty commendation from the people in general and cor
dial indorsement from prominent and progressive citizens of the State.
Previous issues have been acknowledged as potent factors in stimu
lating the progress of Texas. The 1914 Texas Almanac has been
carefully compiled and is published with the end in view of not only
equaling, but of excelling other issues in influencing the development
of the State in all lines of human endeavor.
The great area of Texas and the rapid development of its natural
resources in sections far removed from others; the differences in
altitude, rainfall, climate, topography and soils and the various condi
tions under which industry thrives and the people live, makes almost
necessary a publication of this character.
Texas is a great State in more ways than area. To prevent a division
of territory, to insure local and State government just and satisfactory
to the people of all sections, the citizens of Te x as now in control of its
government, industrial, educational and religious life, and the genera
tions to come, must be equipped with a thorough and reliable knowl
edge of the life and resources of all sections.
The Texas Almanac is published for the purpose of providing a
convenient and reliable source of information concerning Texas. As
such it is presented to the citizens of Texas and other States.
