A hundred years ago a simple business arrangement changed the course of Fort Worth's economy for years to come and its character perhaps forever. On July 26, 1887, the Union Stock Yards Company received a charter to do business in an area just north of town. The legacy of that charter: Cowtown. J'Nell L. Pate has spent ten years researching the Fort Worth market, with full access to company records and local archives. The result is a thorough, thoughtful, and colorful examination of the industry and its effects on this city. The early years of the stockyards were years of struggle for local businessmen, but in 1902, national giants Swift and Armour assumed a two-thirds interest in the operations, and from there the market grew to be the largest in the Southwest---and one of the three or four largest in the nation. Decentralization after World War II saw local country auctions and later large feedlot operations set the market on a decline. Pate describes typical days during various periods of the market's existence; regales with anecdotes about traders, packers, and shippers; examines the successes and failures of the owners and managers; and impartially evaluates the policies and practices of national moguls Armour and Swift. Her study demonstrates the interrelatedness of the Fort Worth market and the larger Texas agribusiness scene and gives many new insights into the livestock industry generally.Binding Type: Paperback

A MUST Buy for your TEEN.
Helping my son so much - these work within a couple of hours to flatten ouchie whiteheads. My 14 years old son is so grateful!
There’s 2 sizes, 22 patches, and they truly are “invisible” like the box says.
These have been working so well (better than any other brand - and we’ve tried them all) and the price is the cheapest. We Love THAYERS brand now - lifetime user here for sure.

Durable Toy That Keeps Dogs Happy and Busy
Size: Small (Pack of 1), Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
The KONG Ring is a tough, well-made chew toy that’s perfect for dogs who love to gnaw and stay active. Made from durable natural rubber, it holds up well to regular chewing while remaining gentle on teeth and gums. I like that it helps support dental health while also satisfying a dog’s natural urge to chew. It’s great for both solo play and interactive games, keeping dogs entertained and engaged. Overall, it’s a reliable, long-lasting toy that most small to medium dogs will really enjoy. My new granddog love it and spends hours chewing on hers.

Highly recommend- great quality, durable, and great for puppies and chewers!
Size: Small (Pack of 1), Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
We purchased this for our Australian Shepherd puppy who is teething and this is a high quality dog chew toy! It’s a little smaller than I expected but still a nice size for her. We put it in the freezer so it is cold on her teeth. She carries this around and chews on it and it has been a wonderful toy for her! It is durable, thick and solid, doesn’t squeak, and is a safe toy for her! I would highly recommend this if you have a super chewer dog, puppy who is teething or looking for a quality dog chew toy!
