MAKE MORE PROFITS
Many of the benefits obtained from converting linters into
141-saw machines are due to the fact that usually the
machines are rebuilt and put in good condition at the time.
The decision as to the extent of the rebuilding necessary
is a matter which should be decided by a man who not
only has a thorough knowledge of linters and the lint room
but lint marketing conditions, as well.
The many years of experience as oil mill operators and
field engineers for manufacturers of oil mill machinery
should qualify F O R T W O R T H representatives as experts
in their line.

Glazner’s Final Letter as President
Palestine, Texas, May 1,1940.
My year as your President is just about to close,
with the exception o f the “ grand finale” to round
things out the last of this month. I more than ap­
preciate the honor you have shown me. I am very
grateful fo r your help this year. I feel that we have
done some good fo r a great organization.
The time is practically here for our forty-sev­
enth annual convention. With the help of the officers
and members, we have a program arranged that
will be well worth while to every one of us. I want
to thank all o f you for this help and cooperation.
Without you, I would certainly have been at a loss.
I also want to thank the machinery men who have
put forth so much time and expense preparing for
our entertainment. We surely have some good friends
among them.
The local setting fo r our meeting seems ideal.
San Antonio is a beautiful city with an interesting
historical background. We can all look forward to a
happy and profitable time together.
We don’t want a single one o f you to miss what
is in store fo r you. Make your plans right now to be
there. Here’s hoping I see every one you, full of
enthusiasm and pep to help us put over a grand con­
vention. “ San Antonio, here we come,” and let’s get
there.
H B . GLAZNER, President, N.O.M.S.A.
HE MADE A SWELL PRESIDENT
H. B. GLAZNER, Palestine, Texas
A Word from the Secretary
Wharton, Texas, May 2, 1940
To the Members o f the National Oil Mill Superintend­
ents Association and Friends:
These are the closing days of the forty-seventh
year o f our association, and I believe it has been one
of the most pleasant years that I have served as
Secretary and Treasurer. While it is true that the
mills have been hard pushed to keep their regular
men employed the year around, on account o f exist­
ing conditions over which they have no control, at
the same time, the oil mill superintendents, as well
as the assistants and other skilled men in our in­
dustry, have been taken care o f in the best possible
manner by the industry, and they have shown that
they are men, and are appreciative o f the interest
that has been shown them by their employers
through the last two or three years of so-called eco­
nomical dispensation. A t the present moment it
seems as if we may have another year or two ahead
of us o f the same kind o f bunk. While the above
sounds a little pessimistic, it is not intended to be
that way by the writer, for the reason that I am optomistic of the future for both our industry and our
association. I really mention the above in order to
call the public’s attention to the kind o f men that
we have in our industry. The rank and file o f cotton
oil mill superintendents and operators are men who
believe in giving their employers everything they
have got and joining in with them in their hard­
ships, as well as their pleasures.
Now, speaking of pleasure brings us to the point
where we will say nearly every member o f our asso­
ciation that we have been able to contact is making
ready to attend our forty-seventh annual convention
in San Antonio. This convention promises to be a
real old-time convention. You will find elsewhere in
this issue o f the Gazetteer a copy o f the educational
program, on the compilation and arrangement o f
which we wish to congratulate the officers o f the
association, and especially our President, and we

Cottonseed Oil Mill Operators’ Course
The Department o f Chemistry and Chemical En­
gineering o f the A. & M. College o f Texas has a
complete cottonseed oil mill and refining equipment
that is used in connection with undergraduate and
graduate work in this department.
In addition, an annual summer short course for
oil mill operators and others interested has been of­
fered for more than ten years, using this equipment.
The complete mill was presented to the college
by the Texas Cottonseed Crushers Association, and
additional new equipment o f supplies have been given
or loaned from time to time.
We are making arrangements to have a pilotplant size Anderson expeller installed and ready for
operation for this year’s work.
The course is designed primarily fo r men who
have had some experience in oil mill operation,
whether it be office, production, laboratory, sales, or
other. It provides an excellent opportunity to ex­
change and try out new ideas. It is open to anyone
from other states and to those connected with the
industry in any way. All that is expected is a willing­
ness to give your best support to a five-day concen­
trated program.
The daily lectures will be presented by men who
are your co-workers and friends. There will be ample
time to make various runs in the mill, and we are
expecting to have the services o f several experienced

Location
The Agricultural and Mechanical College o f Texas
is located at College Station on the Houston and
Texas Central railroad (Southern P acific), and the
International and Great Northern railroad (Missouri
Pacific), ninety-five miles north of Houston. Both
run through the college grounds and the stations
are only a short distance from the Chemistry Build­
ing. The college property has an east entrance on
State Highway No. 6. A t College Station there are
express, telegraph, and money order offices.
Time of Arrival
Owing to the late hour of arrival of the night
trains, men attending the course should arrange to
reach College Station on the day trains, Sunday,
June 16. Immediately on arrival they should report
to the Chemistry Building, where they will be given
detailed information concerning room assignments.
Registration
Registration will take place in Office 115, Chem­
istry and Chemical Engineering Department, at 8
a. m., Monday, June 17. Since the course is continu­
ous, and each topic bears a definite relation to those
which follow, all students are expected to register at
the designated time and attend all meetings.
There will be a registration fee o f $3.50.
Room and Board
Room in a designated dormitory from Sunday or
Monday night, June 16 or 17, through Thursday
night, June 20, may be had for 50 cents per person
per night. This will amount to $2.50 or $2.00, depend­
ing upon the time. Note that sheets, pillow cases and
pillows, towels and light globes will be furnished by
the college this year without charge, unless this
property is removed or damaged. It is customary to

Alligator steel belt lacing since its intro­

If these belts could all tell their story
of performance it would be summed up
in "extra belt lacing hours."
Since the original patent expired there
have been many lacings that looked like
Alligator. But fortunately for Alligator
the making of belt lacing is a highly
specialized job. Years of r e s e a r c h ,
backed by thousands of dynamometer
tests plus better alloy steels and the
constant improvement in die making and
stamping practice, have been responsible
for these extra belt lacing hours.
Every plant should have a supply of
Alligator steel belt lacing on hand.

is now in progress on the river. W ork on the first

Jack White, operator o f the Plaza Hotels o f San
Antonio and Corpus Christi and the White-Plaza
Hotel o f Dallas, has been chairman o f the River
Beautification committee fo r the past two years.
It was largely due to his efforts that property owners
were “ sold” on the idea o f beautifying the river. The
project is being financed with funds from a $75,000
bond issue, augmented by W orks Projects Adminis­
tration funds and labor to make a total o f approxi­
mately half a million dollars.

The bond issue, which will place a tax only on
property within two blocks o f the river in the down­
town area, was passed with but two dissenting votes,
October 25, 1938. The river is being beautified and
made navigable for small boats from the Plaza Hotel
to the Municipal Auditorium, a distance o f one and
a quarter miles.

door theater and boat landings- -these are converting
the river into a street.
Then will come the boats, the flower vendors, the
musicians. And there will be in the shadow of the
city’s skyscrapers, a thing of beauty to charm the
eye and a playground where a happy populace can
relax, where delighted visitors will linger.
Beautification of the San Antonio River is a
project that has been discussed for many years. It
has been agreed by clubs, firms and individuals that
something should be done to capitalize on the river.
But no one did anything about it.
During the annual San Jacinto Fiesta Week cele­
bration in April, 1936, the Plaza Hotel staged and paid
for a Venetian night carnival on the river beside the
hotel. White planned the show and carried it out to
show what could be done with the river. The festival
brought the city nation-wide publicity in newspapers,

magazines and news reels. White had felt that, after
this demonstration, some group would undertake the
sponsorship of the beautification plan. But still no
Moses appeared.
And so, in January o f 1938, White decided that a
project that meant so much to the city could not
longer be neglected. He began calling in property
owners whose land fronted on the river; he explained
the plan to them and received their endorsement.
They named White chairman of their group.
With the creation of San Antonio Improvement
District No. 15 and the overwhelming success of the
bond issue vote, the way was cleared to convert the
meandering stream through the downtown section
into a beauty spot that will make San Antonio justly
famous as “ the city where you shop from gondolas.”
Following success o f the bond issue, the city com­
missioners created an advisory board of property
owners with White as chairman. The board is giving
particular thought to encouraging the property own­
ers to beautify the buildings fronting the river. It is
the ultmiate thought that these now back entrances
will be changed into beautiful front entrances, more
attractive than those facing the street. There will be
shops, cafes, a flower market and other businesses

The first unit of the Plaza Hotel was opened in
1927, the second unit in 1928. Through a constant
program of renovation and reconditioning, the Plaza
has been kept new and beautiful. As pieces o f furni­
ture begin to show signs of wear, they are sent to
the Plaza’ s own paint department in the basement
for refinishing.
The Plaza has 500 rooms, all outside rooms and
all equipped with combination tub and shower bath
and circulating ice water. All public spaces and more
than one-half of the rooms are air-conditioned.
The Plaza is located at the corner o f South St.
Mary’s and Villita streets. Just across from the Plaza
is the Smith-Young Tower, tallest building in San
Antonio. The Tower can be seen from all highways
for many miles before you reach the city. The easiest
way to find the Plaza is to follow your highway in to
the Tower. Also helpful in identifying the Plaza is
the six-foot electrical sign on the Plaza’s roof. This
can be seen for quite a distance.
The Smith-Young Tower will house the ma­
chinery exhibit and the convention proper o f the Na­
tional Oil Mill Superintendents, May 29, 30, and 31.
The tower is connected with the lobby o f the Plaza

The ten-block section, comprising 4,600 feet, is
called the “ Big Bend” section. Through flood-control
dams, water will be maintained at a permanent water
level in this section at all times. In time of heavy
rains, water will be diverted through a cut-off. Be­
cause of this protection, all heavy construction work

THE SHORT COURSE
Readers will find elsewhere in this issue the
tentative program o f the Twelfth Annua] Short
Course of the Cottonseed Oil Mill Operators, con­
ducted by the Department o f Chemical Engineering
at the A. & M. College of Texas, located at College
Station, in co-operation with the Texas Cottonseed
Crushers Association, June 17 through June 21, 1940.
This short course will be in charge o f Prof. F. F.
Bishop, o f the college, and assisted by Mr. C. W.
Bishop, o f the college, and assisted by C. W. Rankin,
general superintendent of Brenham Cotton Oil and
Manufacturing Company, o f Brenham, Texas. Mr.
Rankin is also past president of the National Oil Mill
Superintendents Association. The program this year
is particularly interesting and educational in every
respect, for those who attend the short course will
hear and take part in discussions that will be led by
some o f the best posted men in our industry, and
they will have with them some very interesting
problems and instruments.
One of the features o f this year’s course is that
you can bring some o f your own cotton seed from
your own mill if you desire to know whether you
have been getting all there is in your seed from your
particular section. It will take not less than 500
pounds to make any kind o f a test. This is something
that has never been done before. All details are out­
lined in this issue o f the Gazetteer. This short course
is not confined to oil mill operators o f Texas alone;
it is open to anyone who wishes to take part from
any part of the cotton belt.
FORTY-SEVENTH CONVENTION
This is the forty-seventh annual convention
month, in which the National Oil Mill Superintend­
ents Association has held, every year since May, 1894,
a convention; and at no time in its history has it
had a closed door to anyone who was an operating
oil mill man who wished to join with them for the
betterment of the industry, in the early days. Our
own George Walsh (who has gone to his reward)
knew not what he wrought when he called together
in Waco, Texas, in May, 1894, a few o f the then ex­
isting cotton oil mill operators or superintendents,
to organize this great body, as the first organization
o f cottonseed oil mill men in the early days, which
was first known as the Oil Mill Superintendents As­
sociation, and was later changed into a National
Association. This association has never missed a
single year or even a single day. It has functioned
every day o f the forty-seven years, and has gained
strength every year o f its existance, and the reason
for this is that it has been a strictly educational or­
ganization all o f these years, and as fa r as the pres­
ent membership knows will continue to be such. In
checking the printed minutes or proceedings of all
of these forty-seven conventions you cannot find
where there has been a single instance or reference
to anything but the educational features o f the cot­
tonseed oil industry, the upbuilding o f the associa­
tion, and the patriotic support o f our own great
country, the United States o f America. And by the
help o f God, may it continue to do s o !
BEST EVER
We understand that Dr. Charley Rankin says
that the short course this year will be the best ever,
so make your reservations now.

PAST PRESIDENT
This convention issue of the official organ of the
National Oil Mill Superintendents Association is the
twenty-seventh annual convention issue that the
writer has had the pleasure o f editing. It has been
tough sledding at times, especially during the midst
of the depression, when it was at its peak, when we
carried some o f our oldest and best advertisers' ac­
counts fo r them and then learned that they could
not make the grade. But the Gazetteer has not missed
a single edition since it was placed in the present
editor’ s hands in 1913, and we feel proud o f this
record. We have made many mistakes, some of them
trivial and some o f them that were not (who can go
along this journey o f life without making an error
occasionally?) but all o f them were of the head and
not of the heart. And to any that we have offended
this past year— if there be any— we will say that it
was not intentional, and we humbly beg your pardon.
H ARRY WILSON, Editor.
EVERYTHING IS READY
Mr. Krueger and his committees have everything
under control in San Antonio, and the water is get­
ting deeper in the San Antonio River alongside the
Plaza Hotel all the time.i Jack White, manager o f the
Plaza, says he has a special gondola and singer for
the officers o f the association. We have not been ad­
vised i f that o ffe r includes the wives of the officers.
Watch your step, Jack!
NOTICE OF CONVENTION
It is the duty o f the Secretary o f the association
to notify every member o f the association, as well
as all oil mill superintendents, 30 days in advance of
the convention, o f the meeting place and the dates
of the annual convention. These letters will go out
early next week.

not only the danger in the loosened tongues that
liquor sets to wagging about company secrets but
also the fact that many a not-drinking host has put

BUSINESS MEN TAKE STAND AGAINST
LIQUOR THREATS
“ Liquor wholesalers . . . may not give liquor as
samples” at the Indiana conventions, “ Tap & Tavern”
warns its liquor traffic readers. “ Section 4 of Regu­
lation No. 1 clearly prohibits such practice.”
Down in Texas, according to an item in the Dallas
Morning News, the second annual Southern News­
paper Mechanical Conference made a ruling against
the usual practice o f liquor parties given for conven­
tion members by representatives of newspaper sup­
plies companies.
The convention programs stated that if any viola­
tions were reported, offending sales representatives
would be called to appear before the conference in
regular session.
A man who would not step up to a bar to buy a
drink m ight readily accept a “ sample” passed out at a
convention or might join in on a “ party” given by a

NEW OIL MILL
A $100,000 cottonseed oil mill and soy bean
crushing plant is in prospect for the near future.
Announcement has been made that a meeting will be
held May 1 at the Chamber o f Commerce in Jones­
boro, Arkansas, fo r the purpose of discussing or­
ganization o f a stock company fo r the building of the
mill. Fred Bradford, part owner o f a mill at Camden,
has been contacted by Eric Rogers in regard to lo­
cating a plant in Jonesboro. Previous meetings have
been held concerning such a project, and Mr. Rogers
has expressed the opinion that the stock will be
readily subscribed.
NEW SEED HOUSE
A new seed house 250 feet long by 100 feet wide
will soon be completed on the grounds o f the Memphis
Cotton Oil Mill, Memphis, Tennessee. Homer Barnes,
superintendent, believes it will be one o f the largest
in this part o f the country.
W . E. H ASSLER
W. E. Hassler, superintendent of the Buckeye Cot­
ton Oil Company, Memphis, and president o f the TriStates Superintendents’ Association, extends a cor­
dial welcome to the entire cotton belt to attend the
annual convention and machinery and power show
to be held in Memphis, June 6-8. Mr. Hassler has
made the association a loyal and outstanding presi­
dent. He has been on hand at every meeting possible,
and used rare judgment in selecting his assistants
and committees, who have co-operated to the fullest
extent to carry through the plans outlined when he
took over office.
Through his leadership, the Tri-States Associa­
tion has grown in size and interest. The monthly
meetings have been most successful from an educa­
tional standpoint as well as attendance.
When Mr. Hassler turns his gavel over to the
next president, he will turn over a well-organized
association which stands ready to keep working to­
ward the best interest o f the association and its place
in the industry.
Mr. Hassler plans to attend the National Oil Mill
Superintendents’ Association in San Antonio the
last part o f May, and will appear on the speakers’
program. He is also chairman o f the Program Com­
mittee for the Tri-States Superintendents conven­
tion in Memphis.
NEW OIL MILL
Vicksburg, Mississippi, will soon boast o f a most
up-to-date cottonseed oil mill, when the Refuge Cot­
ton Oil Mill will rebuild their plant. The new mill
will be in the same location as the present one. The
personnel will probably remain the same. C. C. Cas­
tillow, district engineer o f the Southern Cotton Oil
Company, is supervising the work.

CAPTAIN J. P. DICKINSON
C A R O L IN A
Captain J. P. Dickinson needs no introduction to
the cottonseed oil milling' industry. He has long
identified himself throughout the cotton growing
states as a leader. Since its inception, the Tri-State
Superintendents Association have appointed him as
general convention chairman, and many times under
protest, as the captain has wanted to let someone
else take over the duties, but he was unanimously
ruled to serve in every instance and he has never
fallen down on his responsibilities.
When he sounds the gavel for the opening o f the
annual convention of the Tri-States Superintendents
Association and machinery show sponsored by the
association, the curtain will be raised on a scene of
another achievement which he has worked untiringly
to bring to a successful climax.
Captain Dickinson has not only served as con­
vention chairman throughout the years, but he has
served in many other executive capacities, such as
president on several occasions, chairman of the board
o f directors, committees, vice-president, as well as
“ pinch hit” in the absence o f any officer— not to
mention the number of able speeches he has de­
livered.
He is superintendent o f the DeSoto Oil Mill of
Memphis.

NEW USE FOR COTTON SEED
According to a news report, cotton seed may
prove successful as a new base for ice cream. Prosper
Ingles, a young Belgian chef, served cotton ice cream
at a banquet of Southwest restaurant recently, and
he is now awaiting the verdict. One of the largest
manufacturers in the South (Borden’s) has agreed
to market the ice cream if returns are favorable. The
ice cream, made with special meal and extract from
cotton seed as a base, looks something like pale
chocolate and tastes something like a combination
of maple nut and malted milk.
Last year C. Allen Smith, chemist, Perkins Oil
Mill, Memphis, made some interesting discoveries in
the use of cotton seed in ice cream and candy. He de­
veloped “ Poco Kernels,” which were made from the
raw meats taken from regular oil milling process,
and then specially prepared them as cooked kernels.
He received considerable recognition on this new
product.
As a practical and usable outlet for cotton seed,
it has not as yet been determined. However, it has
possibilities, and should make a nutritious and tasty
product.
R. L. LOGGINS
R. L. Loggins, superintendent o f the Blytheville
Cotton Oil Company, Blytheville, Arkansas, and
Vice-President o f the Tri-States Superintendents As­

in Memphis with an eagle eye, for he is scheduled to
appear on the program and give his impressions of
the exhibits. O f course, he won't be able to mention
every exhibit during his alloted time, but he’ll give
interesting side glances. A fter his talk, if you have
missed any interesting exhibit, you’ll have time to
get another look at the show. He will speak on the
second morning o f the convention.

Among the prominent convention delegates who
will attend the Memphis convention is F. A. Harris,
superintendent of the Refuge Cotton Oil Company,
Rosedale, Mississippi. Mr. Harris is a firm supporter
o f the machinery and power show, and assures every

The busiest man these days is Hiram King, Secretary-Treasurer o f the Tri-States Association, who
shoulders responsibility whenever it will assist the
organization. He will be in charge of the registration
booths, as well as bureau of information. Then he’ll
also attend to a hundred and one other details in
connection with the convention. Hiram holds a re­
sponsible position with the DeSoto Oil Mill, Memphis.

Delegates to the Memphis convention have a
treat in store when Cecil Wamble speaks before the
convention on “ Chemical Engineering.” Mr. Wamble
is chief engineer for the Mississippi Cottonseed Prod­
ucts Company’s group of mills, and his wide ex­
perience in this field well qualifies him to speak with
authority on the subject. He is past president o f the
Tri-States Superintendents Association, and has con­
tributed much of his time and ability toward the
interest of the association.
A familiar figure in the Tri-States Association, and al­
ways ready to promote its interests, is Buff Chisolm, super­
intendent of the Trenton Cotton Oil Company, Trenton, Ten­
nessee. He was selected to serve as chairman for the State
Attendance Committee for Tennessee for the convention, and
we know that there will be a large crowd from Tennessee.
Mr. Wamble appears on the program o f the Na­

KNOW YOUR MONEY
DOUGLAS SMITH
Douglas Smith, o f the Crump Lime and Cement
Company, Memphis, Tennessee, can always be
counted on to assist in any plans pertaining to the
Tri-States Superintendents Association. He was
named as a member o f the Entertainment Committee
for the Memphis convention. Mr. Smith is well known
in oil mill circles, having served on various commit­
tees fo r a number o f years.
The Tri-States Superintendents Association are
pleased to present for the first time an added feature
at the annual convention in Memphis, “ Know Your
Money,” sound motion picture, a secret service pre­
sentation, which has been produced by special per­
mission of Hon. Henry Morgenthau, Jr., Secretary
of the Treasury.
For the first time in history an important lawenforcement agency o f the federal government has
begun a program intended to prevent a m ajor crime
through education instead of prosecution, and at the
same time to save the public $1,000,000 a year or
more.
The “ Know Your Money” film was made entirely
by secret service personnel, and Lowell Thomas is
the commentator. It is the first time either genuine
or counterfeit money has been shown on any screen.
The final scene portrays the arrest of two profes­
sional passers who unsuccessfully attempt to defraud
a merchant who has attended a “ Know Your Money”
educational lecture given by the secret service. A
circular explaining just how to detect counterfeit
money and what to do if a professional passer tries to
defraud one with a counterfeit will be handed to each
person in the convention, and it will be easily under­
stood by everyone who sees the picture.
With the great increase o f government checks
through disbursement of emergency funds, large
numbers o f these checks are being stolen and forged,
with resultant losses to small storekeepers. With the
forthcoming release of millions o f social security
checks, this problem could become a real threat to
our national economy unless it is controlled at the
outset. For this reason one chapter o f the film shows
the public how to protect itself against forgers. In
1939 the secret service arrested 2,600 forgers o f gov­
ernment checks, or more than three times the num­
ber arrested in previous years, which clearly indicates
the growth o f this crime problem. Losses to the
public through counterfeit money have decreased
from $1,200,000 in 1936 to $200,000 last year, and it
is expected that the total will drop to $100,000 in
1940.
An agent will be present to answer any questions
that may arise.
Landlord: “ What’s the complaint?”
Tenant: “ The bathroom tap won’t work. Would
you mind having the hole in the roof shifted over the
tub?”
W . I. TEMPLE
Another active member of the Tri-States Association, a
member of the Board of Directors, and who has served in
an executive capacity, past president, chairman of various
committees, etc., for a number of years, is W . I. Temple,
superintendent of the Southern Cotton Oil Company, Newport,
Arkansas. He is on the Reception Committee for the Memphis
convention and will be in the exhibit hall to greet the dele­
gates.

Judge: “ Have you anything to say in your be­

at a disadvantage. The customer simply drives his truck under the telescope and in a few minutes he
is unloaded without any violent jerking or tearing of any kind. Cross chains and end gates can be
permanently in place, as they need not be removed. The flimsiest bed can be unloaded so gently that
there is no danger of damaging it in any way. There are no open conveyors, pulleys, cables or chains
within reach of the operator or bystander, doing away with an ever present danger and nuisance.
The increasing popularity of this modern convenience is indisputably shown in the long list of satisfied
users and many repeat orders. Also in the many imitations that have sprung up since its introduction.

and the association in the limelight, but we believe
that a shining light cannot be hid forever, and the
Program Committee for the Memphis convention
has insisted that he address the delegates. "‘Past,
Present and Future of Cooking Cotton Seed” will be
the subject. Mr. Castillow’s wide experience in the
field will enable him to speak with authority on this
subject.
Mr. Castillow is past president of the National
Oil Mill Superintendents Association.

Reports on Convention
J. P. Dickinson, general convention chairman for
the Memphis Convention and Machinery Show, re­
ported that everything was in readiness for the open­
ing of the Annual Convention, June 6-7-8. “ We have
96 spaces at the auditorium sold for displaying ma­
chinery used in an industrial plant, which assures us
a great convention,” he told the group. “ We have a
few more spaces left, and these will no doubt be sold
before the opening.”
Mr. Dickinson also reported that plans had been
completed to send letters o f invitation to the entire
cotton oil industry, to engineer organizations, as well
as ginners, who would be interested in seeing the
machinery and power show. “ Every effort is being
made to have a large attendance,” he said. “ The
exhibitors are the ones who are making possible our
convention and entertainment, and we intend to give
them all the support possible, and that is to have
prospective buyers view the Power Show from all
types o f industrial plants.”
The Convention Hall at the Ellis Auditorium will
be opened on the first night, June 6, so that it will
be possible fo r those working during the day to visit
the show at night.
An attendance committee was appointed some
time ago in each section to give publicity to those
interested in the Power Show to attend. C. C. Castil­
w, chairman of the Attendance Committee
lo
Mississippi, reported that a letter will be sent to
every oil mill man in Mississippi, as well as ginners
and engineers, and even across the river to attendHe reported that he has been contacting a number of
them personally, and that a great many expect to be
on hand.
Reviews Oil Mill Problems
The “ Questions and Asnwers Box,” which has
been featured at the regular meetings by J. Tt. Mays,
Jr., o f Barrow-Agee Laboratories, was brought to a
conclusion fo r the year by a general review of aU
questions and a summary o f the answers, which
proved to be most interesting. This feature will be
discontinued fo r the summer, but if the membership
is interested, Mr. Mays will resume the discussions
in the fall. All those who would like to see the “ Ques­
tions and Answers” a part o f next year’s program
are asked to send in questions to him during the
summer, and he will compile them, getting opinions,
as well as doing research on such problems as re­
quire it in an effort to report definite answers at
the first meeting in the fall. This is open to any oil
mill man in the cotton belt. Just send in any problem
or question that you wish answered. There is no need
to sign your name unless you desire. This feature
each month has been interesting as well as educa­
tional, and Mr. Mays has spent much time and study
to present a comprehensive report.
About 40 attended the meeting in Pine Bluff, and
Mr. Huneycutt is to be complimented on the splendid
entertainment and program he provided for the
group. The A ssociation is looking forward to a return
to Pine B lu ff in the fall. Members came a long w ?”
to be present. From Hazlehurst, Mississippi, F . S.
Ainsworth and C. C, Anding, of the Hazlehurst Oil
Mill, drove the Ion? distance, as well as C. C. CastilIow, from Greenville, Mississippi.

GREETINGS TO ALL OIL MILL SUPERIN­
TENDENTS EVERYW HERE
The Tri-States Oil Mill Superintendents Associa­
tion extends to you and yours a most cordial invita­
tion to join with us June 6-7-8, at Ellis Auditorium,
Memphis, Tennessee, as on those dates we are put­
ting on another large Power Show and Convention,
which should prove of great interest to all, inasmuch
as we will have one of the largest machinery and
power shows ever held in the entire South. There will
be many articles of interest to each and every one,
articles you have been wanting to see, and here is
your chance, for you will find everything on exhibi­
tion here.
We will have a very elaborate as well as instruc­
tive program of educational features . . . a program
that will be entirely new to all o f us. The Government
will have a representative here with pictures, who
will explain the making of counterfeit money of all
kinds and how it can be detected at a glance.
The entertainment program has not been over­
looked, and we will have many affairs which will
interest all, and will make your visit more enjoyable.
Mrs. Louis J. Saino, Chairman of the Ladies Enter­
tainment Committee, has arranged an outstanding
program complimenting the visiting ladies.
Make this Convention your vacation. There are
many places of amusement in and around Memphis,
especially for the fisherman.
The highlight of the Convention will be the clos­
ing day, Saturday, when everyone will enjoy the oldfor
fashioned
Southern barbecue with dancing and other
amusements. Anything goes to make the visitors
enjoy themselves, just as long as we stay within
reason. All committees have been working hard to
make this the most successful and beneficial Conven­
tion ever held.
I want to remind you that, after all, the Exhibitors
are the people who really make these splendid shows
and entertainments possible, and we hope that every
visitor will visit each booth and show these gentle­
men that you are interested in their exhibit and ap­
preciate their cooperation, and that when you are in
the market for their products, you will certainly
patronize them, as they are the ones who patronize us.
I
want to urge the attendance committees to work
hard, as we are now on the home stretch and certainly
want to have a large attendance o f oil mill people . . .
largest ever assembled at one Convention . . . and we
want to invite all allied industries to be with us, as
we will have many things on exhibit that they should
be interested in and we certainly hope they will take
advantage o f this opportunity to see some o f the
many things they may want to see first hand. So to
these we want to extend a cordial invitation to be
with us on the above dates.
Admission to all functions of the Convention will
be by badge only. No badges will be issued after four
o’clock, June 7, which is the second day of the Con­
vention. We are doing this so we will be able to give
the hotel the exact number fo r which to prepare for
the banquet, as we do not want any dissatisfaction
from this as we had in 1938. W e will have exclusive
use of the beautiful roof garden o f the Claridge Hotel,
which is the largest and best equipped fo r a banquet
in the city o f Memphis; so please get your badge
eal^ ‘
Yours for a good time,
J. P. DICKINSON, Convention Chairman.
