 Early
advertising postcard for Brown Cotton Wagon - Beeville, TX:
Hauling
7,500 to 8,000 lbs. per load, three loads daily, through the Cotton
ginning season is the record of this 3 1/4 Brown Wagon at Beeville.
It's the specially constructed wheels and Brown patent skein that makes
its carry capacity greater than larger size Wagons of other makes.

of Baptist Church, Skidmore, postmarked 1910. Written to Miss Ethel
Lee, San Antonio, TX. From (initials on front of card) L.B.C. or L.B.L.
Appears to be from an older brother to his younger sister. Perhaps the

 Tuleta
Medio Creek Bridge. It was a postcard postmarked May 11, 1909. The card was
mailed to a mans sister in Missouri and states this is the new bridge he had
just worked on. As you can see there is no dirt yet at the approach to the
bridge. Asking life long reisdences of Tuleta, it was found no one had any
recollection of seeing this bridge. Possibly it was wiped out by flooding not
too long after it was built. |
 Peter
Unzicker home (Founder of Tuleta) circa.1911 Written on back: "Dear Bro, It's
me on the other side of this card. How do you like to go to school I asked you a
lots but you don't tell me. Uncle John is got a little store now.(Vernon)".
Addressed to MR. S.P. Unzicker Goshen, College, Ind. If you look behind the
yard gate you can barely see a young boy, the letter writer. |

BEE OIL & REFINERY in Pettus, Texas. One of
the pic's is dated 1936. In one pic there is a small highway mileage
sign. Under magnification it has TULETA 3 and looks to be SINTON 41.
This would place this old plant on the south edge of Pettus on the
West side of the road. There is no evidence today the plant was ever
there and old timers can't recall it either. Must not have lasted
long after these pictures were taken. |
