Travis Produce Company

The Travis Produce Co. is certainly coming to the fore in the making of butter. They have a contract to supply Rice Institute, beside last week shipping 600 to Houston merchants. They also had a call from San Antonio for a trial shipment. The Travis butter is second to none, as Palacios people can testify, for all the home grocers keep it in stock.

Palacios Has New Industry

The Travis Produce Company this week began the manufacture of high grade peanut butter. In keeping with the standard of the company, this new product is of the finest quality, and is excelled in flavor and consistency by none put out by the larger manufacturies. As to its palatableness we can vouch, as we were among those who received a sample of the first lot made, and in addition to its high quality, it has the added attraction of freshness.

The company has already made an enviable reputation in the manufacture of creamery butter, and it is safe to predict that the new venture will be an unqualified success.

Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Brown of Denver, Colo., who recently traded Colorado property for the building owned by Carsten F. Lorenson, and which is now occupied by the Travis Produce Co., arrived in the city Wednesday afternoon, making the trip from Denver by auto. Mr. Brown is an experienced tailor and will enter that business here. He says the roads from El Paso to Fredericksburg are the worst on earth.
