FIFTEEN years ago ♦ he Panhandle was only a ranching and
farming region. Today it is the location of a vast indus-
trial development: oil refineries, carbon black plants, pipe
line compressor stations, zinc smelters, electricity generating
plants, glass factories and a host of related and other indus-
trial plants.
These industries all use heavy, expensive, special ma-
chinery. When it breaks down, or requires overhauling or
rebuilding, the work needs to b^ done quickly, expertly and
close at hand. A similar need exists as to modern, heavy
road building and farm machinery and automotive equipment.
In addition to repair and maintenance service require-
ments, Panhandle industries use up in their customary proc-
esses a large volume of what are termed "mill supplies.'' We
manufacture for stock or on contract numerous mill supply
items for the petroleum and related industries especially;
and also various plumbing, water and flour mill metal supply
products. In a word, if it is metal and does not weigh more
than three tons and exceed sixty inches round or square, we
can make it from blue print to finished product. As to
cylinder heads, pistons and cylinders we can handle them
up to three tons and twenty-four inch bore.
Panhandle industries, being new, have Instated the
largest, latest end finest of equipment. We, also being new,
have done the same thing. We have the most complete,
modern and adequate foundry and machine shop facilities
in the Panhandle. Much work is being received regularly
from larger and older industrial areas.
Prospective users of our services are invited to inspect
our foundry and machine shop and discuss their needs and
problems with us. We are interested in handling all classes
of work ranging from smallest precision work to extra-large
cylinder boring and grinding. Supplementing our general
foundry and machine shop service we offer exceptional fa-
cilities in electric-arc and oxy-acetylene welding, pattern
making and sand blast production. Charges are reasonable
and compet five—freqently surprisingly lower due to our
complete and adequate modern equipment.
We believe that we have more than kept pace with the
needs we supply for the young but nevertheless mammoth
industries of the Panhandle: and we pledge ourselves to meet,
and very possibly to anticipate, their increasing needs of the
future as they occur.
