1936886Dallas 1936. Very good. Four items including two folding pamphlets one typed letter signed and an envelope. Light wear and tanning. Interesting and colorful promotional material for Rock Island Plow Company of Dallas and Oklahoma. A large folding poster printed in red and yellow depicts the two most popular plow models "built especially for Texas soils" on one side of the sheet and on the other a third illustration of a plow with promotional text. A second folding pamphlet comprises a small illustrated catalog with additional models modifications and specifications. The advertisements were sent to the Smith-Moore-Williams Co. of Bonham Texas with a typed letter signed and dated September 1936 exhorting them to post the ads in their store and including a wholesale price list. A stamped return envelope for potential orders is also optimistically included. Very attractive agricultural promotionals though one wonders what the market was for plows in North Texas and Oklahoma at the height of the Dust Bowl. unknown books

Near fine. An unrecorded promotional pamphlet and related ephemera touting the advantages of investing in the ill-fated Angelina Orchard Company near Lufkin in Angelina County Texas. Around 1900 the group of Boston investors who printed this pamphlet established the town of Manton in East Texas which was designed to support their commercial fruit farm on the Texas and New Orleans Railroad. The present pamphlet sets forth the details of the available land for purchase highlights the advantages of growing fruit in East Texas prints testimonials from others in support of the area and enumerates the legal protections for landowners in Texas. The inside rear wrapper is printed with a list of mean temperatures for the area from 1901. Laid into the pamphlet is a sample contract and a separate promotional detailing real estate and insurance offerings from the company. <br> <br> "The Angelina Orchard Company incorporated around 1901 with a capital stock of $130000.bought 12500 acres of cutover timberland near the site of what is now Southland Paper Mills for growing and processing fruit. The idea of raising fruit as an economic venture in Angelina County may have been fostered by the Lufkin TRIBUNE and the Houston POST which published articles early in the century advertising East Texas as a good peach-growing area. The author of these articles an industrial agent for several railroad lines had reportedly also sent out thousands of folders promoting this idea. About 1902 the Angelina Orchard Company planted 500 of its 12500 acres in peach trees 350 in pear and 150 in plum. The company planned to plant 500 more acres a year until the entire tract was under cultivation. The farm was envisioned as a community and business center. The company built tenant houses for orchard employees a commissary a school and a church. Also planned were a canning factory a sawmill more tenant houses and a spur railroad. The plans were short-lived however. Manager Fred Brunsterman was shot during an argument in a Lufkin bank vault. The company then employed two different managers but profits never met the original expectations. The last manager attempted to make money by raising cotton potatoes and cantaloupes with no more success than the peaches had brought cotton was then selling for twenty- five to fifty dollars a bale. The Manton orchard failed. The stockholders sold the land and what timber was left" - HANDBOOK OF TEXAS. No copies in OCLC or auction history. Megan Biesele "Manton Tx." in HANDBOOK OF TEXAS online.
