1922 Letter from Houston Co-operative Dairy Association, Ltd to Stockholders

Three-page, typed letter, dated 2/8/22, on association letterhead signed by T.J. McCabe of the Houston Co-operative Dairy Association, Ltd to a stockholder, Mr. Sam E. Sorelle. 8.5 X 11 inches, folded twice. Mild wear. Cover included , creased and worn. Letter content includes the "depressing conditions" in the preceding year, 1921, association business, intent to incorporate, issues of additional stock to current stockholders to raise money, food products, and an attached financial statement. The association was only three years old and had survived the economic woes of the previous year while older, stronger companies had collapsed. That, coupled with optimism for their Mayflower trade-name products-"the best grade of butter made or sold in the Houston market" and "the best ice cream in Houston"-presented in their view a positive outlook for future profitability. The company's plant was located at 1120 North Main St. in Houston, Texas. Their office location indicated on the letterhead was at 806 Main Street (at Rusk) in the Carter Building [Samuel Fain Carter]. An interesting piece of dairy agribusiness and food manufacturing history in Houston in the early post-World War I years. Three pages typed and signed by T.J. McCabe and fastened with a small pin, or nail, in the upper-left corner.
