1 III founder % of the Great West Mill & Elevator
Company were among the first to realize the coming
importance of the Panhandle-Plains as a quality wheat
producing region; and these founders were pioneers
in appreciating the advantages of Amarillo as a wheat
storage and milling center.
When the mil! was built here in I 92 ! — only I 7
years ago—-Amarillo was a far different city from
what it is today. This mill was the first industrial plant
of consequence to come to Amarillo—the first tan-
gible evidence that the vision of the city's founders
for an industrial as weii as a railroad and distribution
center was to be realized.
The people of the Great West Mill & Elevator
Company are proud of the fact that they were in-
dustrial pioneers in Amarillo; and they are even more
gratified that their faith in Amarillo and the Pan-
handle-Plains has been amply justified. In the onward
march of this great wheat empire and its hub city,
this institution wants and expects to do its part. The
management talces this anniversary occasion to ex-
press its appreciation for the help and patronage it
has received from the citizens of Amarillo and the
Panhandle - Plains, without which success could not
have been possible. Our sincere thanks goes out to
each and every one of you!
