Denison is a hustling, enterprising city of twenty thousand population, located in North Texas, just across Red River, in Grayson County, the richest and most productive county in the Southwest, with a population of eighty thousand, 92 per cent of which is white. The city was surveyed in 1872, just before the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad had reached Red River in its onward march through the Indian Territory into Texas. It was incorporated in 1873, and its history of growth and progress forms a very interesting link in the story of the rise and development of the great Southwest.

The city owes its existence to the building of the M., K. & T. railroad, so it has become one of the most important division points on the entire "Katy" system. Started as a railroad town, it has become one of the most important terminals in the Southwest. Ten diverging lines of railway cover the richest portions of North Texas and Southern Oklahoma, the natural trading territory of Denison. These ten railroads put the city within easy reach of coal, lumber, live stock, grain, cotton, and all the products of this very productive area, and give the city unequalled facilities for distributing the output of its factories, or merchandise of any kind.

Denison has more passenger trains in and out of it, every twenty-four hours, than any other city of its size in Texas, and at the present writing a union passenger station is under way that will accommodate the business that has entirely outgrown the present arrangements for handling it.
Denison has gained rapidly in population in two years. Postal receipts, bank deposits, and trade volume show substantial gains. Building operations for 1907 show an increase of 140 per cent over 1906.
The post office and railroad receipts show rapid gains each year, which is an acceptable index to the city's progress. The gross postal receipts last year [1907] amounted to about $27,000, as against $21,000 five years ago. Nearly $50,000 is paid to railway postal clerks through this office each year, there being seventy-two clerks and substitutes on the local payroll. A total of 155 clerks lay over in Denison. There are no dull seasons in Denison; money is plentiful the year around and the merchants do what is considered a cash business.
The citizens are thoroughly cosmopolitan, the larger number coming from the northern states. They have attained a wide reputation for push and public spirit. Because of this, Denison is known everywhere as the city that "does things". Metropolitan airs are visible in every branch of business in town. Up-to-date stores, with high-grade stocks of goods, make trading a pleasure to patrons.

About 3,000 well-paid railroad employees receive monthly an aggregate average of $250,000.
Denison has an inexhaustible supply of pure soft water this is in all particulars suitable for domestic and steam purposes. An extensive waterworks system furnishes water and gives fire protection over the entire city. The abundance of water adds to the convenience and great sanitary value of the fine sewerage system. The extent of the water supply can be illustrated by mentioning one well, that is used by the M., K. & T. that has been tested to the extent of one million gallons daily.
Water and fuel are twin essential in the development of internal commerce, and Denison has each. Fifty miles north lies the great coal belt of Oklahoma, and almost the entire output of these famous mines comes to Denison and is distributed over the state. This, of course, gives Denison a great advantage in securing coal suitable for steam purposes at a low price.
In addition to its natural business advantages, because of its geographical location, Denison is an exceedingly healthy place. Its elevation is 175 feet above Red River and about 800 feet about the sea level. Its hill tops are covered with a fine growth of hard wood trees and its general situation is picturesque and attractive. The temperature is mild and pleasant the year round, the extremes of heat or cold being seldom experience. In the summer a cool, south breeze prevails, making sunstrokes unknown and the night's rest enjoyable.
Few cities of its size in any state have more churches or better schools. Nearly all the evangelical denominations have good buildings, some of them more than one, and they are aggressive in all lines of Christian activity.
Denison ranks high as an educational center. It was the first city in Texas to erect a public free school building.
The high school graduates are qualified to enter the State University or other similar institutions.
St. Xavier's Academy, a Catholic boarding school, has had a large patronage from Texas and Oklahoma for many years, and the new four-story pressed brick building on the property gives them one of the most extensive and complete institutions of the character in the state.
One of the organizations in Denison that indicates both the culture and public spirit of its people is the XXI Club, an association of women. They own a very fine two-story brick building that is used for library and club purposes, having a large auditorium on the first floor. This is one of the very few club buildings west of the Mississippi River controlled exclusively by women.
Denison's attractive suburbs are reached by electric street car lines. The Denison & Sherman Interurban Electric Railway brings the two cities within a few minutes-ride of each other, at intervals of an hour.
Civic pride, fostered and encouraged by the unusually energetic Board of Trade, is making of Denison a beautiful city. It has revolutionized the appearance of the place in the last few years and has put new life into the business interests. And this same Board of Trade has turned its attention to agricultural development in a way that has greatly enhanced the value of lands and turned the tide of the community from a settlement of buyers to an aggregation of sellers.

Beauty is one of the greatest assets of a city. With this knowledge ever before them, the Board of Trade members, and especially its secretary, Mr. T. W. Larkin, pushed ahead plans to encourage everybody to "dress up". It is actually amazing what has been accomplished along this line. An auxiliary, called the Civic Improvement League, was formed and its destinies placed in the hands of the women. What better place to consign the idea of making a city beautiful?
Less than two years of work by this organization has made Denison a city of homes basking in settings of trailing vines and sweet blossoms. Flowers, flowers everywhere, one might readily cry while driving through the residence streets. From the mansion of the man of wealth to the simple little cottage of the laborer, the same view meets the gaze. Lawns have been leveled and sodded, and dotted all about them are beds of tasty blossoms. Porches are shaded by vines of the blossoming kind, and so numerous are these improvements that the fragrance permeates the entire atmosphere of the city.
What would you think of a city of 20,000 population having more than 100 blooming magnolia trees in its yards? This is Denison. And when those wonderful blossoms come forth, it is like a veritable swelling tide of fragrance, growing out of the milder perfumes of the simple glowers. Truly there is not a spot in the city where one may not feel the effect of that pungent odor, so sweet as to be sought after in all parts of the world.
Other improvements have been encouraged by this organization. Scarcely a city home that has not a concrete walk in front of it, and those not already equipped are in line for the change. The public authorities are fast improving the streets to keep up with individual effort, and the harmony thus engendered will work great good. Much pavement is being laid, and the business section is already highly attractive.
With all this being accomplished by an auxiliary organization, one naturally asks what is left for the parent body to do. A glimpse into its world of usefulness discloses a line of work rarely ever undertaken by this class of public bodies. Realizing that the ultimate success of any city depends in large measure on its agricultural surroundings, the Board of trade has extended its efforts to the upbuilding of that branch of the community. It has taken many wise steps to encourage better farming and a wider diversification, the thing that spells success in that work.
The first thing Secretary Larkin did to start his agricultural campaign was to enlist the aid of the United States Department of Agriculture. From that source he receives large supplies of all bulletins issued that concern that part of the country. These are sent out to an extensive mailing list, every name on that list having been placed there at the request of the farmer himself. That these bulletins are read and heeded has been demonstrated many times over. So great has become the demand that the department at Washington reports it is sending a larger supply of literature to Denison than to any other community in the country.
One of the things discovered by Secretary Larkin early in his work was that Denison had been shipping in large quantities of eggs and butter. He could see no good reason for this, so he bent his efforts to the encouragement of dairying and poultry growing. In the latter industry, he has seen the balance of trade reversed in large measure. As an instance, in 1905, sixteen cars of eggs were shipped into Denison. In 1906, this was changed to one car shipped out, in 1907 twenty-six cars were shipped out, and the indications are that the shipments for 1908 will be forty cars.
The subject of dairying received special mention in the annual report of Secretary Larkin, read before the Board of Trade recently. Here is an excerpt from what he had to say:
Probably the greatest single achievement of the Board of Trade during the past year was the perfecting of arrangements for the establishment of a demonstration dairy farm, the only one of the kind in the United States. It is located three miles east of Denison and is operated by the United States Department of Agriculture, acting in co-operation with the A. and M. College of Texas, the purpose being to demonstrate the practicability and profit of dairy farming the Southwest.
Every month in the producing season (and that means the greater part of the year) the board holds sales-day shows, at which valuable premiums are offered for the best displays of fruit and produce. These of necessity stimulate effort, and higher grade things are the result. About the middle of July, a great peach display was made, proving to all comers that this one kind of fruit reaches a high degree of perfection there.

One of the big drawing cards of the board in the promulgation of its agricultural doctrine is its special lectures by experts. Ten school houses in the vicinity are visited from six to twelve times a year, when meetings of the farmers are held. On these occasions experts from the government bureaus and experiment stations, and such others as can be secured, deliver addresses and answer any questions asked. Open discussions follow these addresses, and much benefit accrues to those attending.
The soil around Denison is of several varieties. There is both alluvial and sandy in the lower places, and the higher land is largely sandy loam with a clay subsoil running from light to red, and far toward the west the soil becomes the very black loam. These things indicate to what a multitude of uses the land may be put. It indicates, just what is claimed for it - that all kinds of produce and fruit will thrive in it. It has shown its worth in growing grain and alfalfa. Climatic conditions are ideal for dairying, poultry raising, and the feeding of hogs. The cow, hen and hog is the combination being preached. Splendid farms may be bought all the way from $15 to $40 an acre.
Denison has two national banks, one state bank, one trust company and savings bank, total capitalization of $350,000, surplus and undivided profits $265,000, deposits $2,191,500. Denison is also the home office of the Southern Surety Company, capitalized at $400,000. Building operations for 1907 showed a gain of 140 per cent over 1905, and this record is made the more notable by reason of the fact that no expensive business structures went up during the period, the improvements for the most part being the building of homes.
Some industries that employ many people and add to the city's prominence are a cotton mill of 12,600 spindles that employs 350 people and uses more than 6,000 bales of cotton annually. There is also a cotton oil mill and a flour mill of 300 barrels' daily capacity. There is a wood working plant, recently installed, that is making a splendid lot of handles from the ash timber that heretofore has been allowed to go to waste. After cutting the magnificent trees to get one log for export, the balance was allowed to decay. It is these remnants that the new mill uses.
The city is open to bona fide industrial propositions of all kinds. Its location is ideal and its business men are awake to the need of adding to the list of industries now in the city. The board of trade will lend every aid to the right aspirants for a new home. But it is made clear by that body that such concerns as home come to be known as bonus seekers need not apply. Every application is closely scrutinized before any answer is given.

Since that time, great changes have come about, and this great drug store has grown unceasingly. Today, as always, it occupies a foremost position among the leading drug stores of the city. Its prominence is due to a certain extent to the excellent line of drugs, chemicals, medicines, sundries, toilet articles, sick room requisites, etc., that are ever kept in stock, but it is also due to the fact that the greatest care is invariably exercised in compounding of prescriptions.

He has been a resident of the city for two years, although a native of Missouri, and has had fifteen years practical experience at his trade. His latest inventions include an ice cream freezer, which has reduced the science of making ice cream down to perfection and lowest possible expense, as well as great economy, with facilities for making either one, two, three or more saucers for immediate use up to five gallons, at a cost of six cents for ice and salt. He has just secured the patent for this invention and has territory for sale in all sections of the United States. His Oil Burner, an invention of last year [1907], reduced the cost of burning crude oil to three cents per day, and can be fitted into any stove.

Waples-Platter Grocer Co. : Wholesale Grocers, Established 1872, Denison, Fort Worth and Dallas. [104 E. Main Street.]
So much has been said and written concerning Denison and the various industries and mercantile establishments that go to make up its worth, that one would be at a loss for language with which to indulge in further description, did not any institution present itself possessing such individuality and distinctiveness, as to speed the pen to heights yet unattained. It is with infinite pride that writer refers to the well known wholesale house of Waples-Platter Grocer Co. The story of the rise of this great establishment from a comparatively modest beginning to the present high standing among similar houses in the Southwest, reads more like a romance than a reality. But the history not only tells of unqualified success, but tells eloquently of the acumen and business ability possessed by its founders and successors, who have guided the house since its inception. Its history is familiar throughout the entire Southwest, and its growth has been co-existent with the growth and business life of the three cities, in which the company operates three extensive houses. The inception of the business took place in 1872, and from that year down to the present time [1908] the company has steadily forged ahead. Extensive premises are utilized in each city, including immense warehouses, which are necessary to hold the immense stock of goods carried, which includes everything in the line of groceries and table delicacies. The policy of the company has always been to handle the best goods and hence retain their patrons by giving them the best for the least money. Their line of specialties includes the celebrated Wapco Brand, of which they are sole proprietors. Some idea as to the immense business transacted by the house may be gleaned from the fact that fifty traveling salesmen efficiently cover the territory of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Colorado. A rapidly increasing interest in the house has been manifested by dealers, and the facilities for supplying them upon favorable terms are unsurpassed by any similar jobbing house in the Southwest. There is no secret existing in regard to their success; it has been accomplished by the untiring industry and acumen of a conservative, yet liberal management, and the handling and selling goods of acknowledged worth and merit. The Officers are: Paul Waples, Prest.; John G. Waples, Vice-Prest.; A.F. Platter, Vice-Prest.; R.W. Lewin, Treasurer; H.C. Platter, Secretary; A P. Foute, Asst. Secretary; J M. Hanna, Asst.

A Serious Accident
G. W. Moore, Well Known Photographer, Injured.
Fell Down a Long Flight of Stairs-His Hurts Are of a Perhaps Fatal Nature
Denison, Mar. 2. G. W. Moore, the well-known photographer, was seriously and perhaps fatally injured this morning between 7 and 8 o'clock when he fell for some distance down the stairway leading to the yard in the rear of his office at No. 210-1/2 West Main street. He is now in an unconscious condition, though his vitality is very low but he appears stronger than he did earlier in the day when the indications were that he would not survive.

The circumstances surrounding the accident are not known definitely as no one saw it. Mr. Moore was found by a negro employed by Jaccard's cafe. The negro said that he heard some one crying out for eight or ten minutes before he paid any attention. When he went into the back yard, he found Mr. Moore lying in a pool of blood on the ground at the foot of the stairway. This was about 8 o'clock. The injured man was carried to his room in his photography gallery by employees of the Jaccard cafe, and Dr. F. M. Teas was called to attend him. Examination indicated that the most serious injuries are about the head, the left side of which was laid open, either by contact with the ground or some part of the staircase.

After the doctor's arrival Mr. Moore was conscious, but he could not realize his condition and appeared not to know where he was or what had happened to him. Later he lapsed into unconsciousness, and his vitality ran very low. Toward noon he rallied but did not regain consciousness.

When he was found by the negro, Mr. Moore had wrapped about his head a curtain that ordinarily hangs in his photograph gallery to form the bedroom where he sleeps. The curtain was blood-soaked, indicating that he had it when the accident occurred. He was conscious when he was found but he told the negro who picked him up that he did not know how he came to be there but that he believed that his back must have given way and that he had been stricken with paralysis. This was the only explanation that he could offer. The attending physician could get no more information from him.

Many years ago Mr. Moore's back was badly injured at Dallas when he was caught in the collapse of the grand stand at the Dallas fair. His friends believe that this injury may have caused paralysis and that he pulled down the curtain from around his bed and started down the back stairs when he fell. He was at the Funston boarding house at 7 o'clock for breakfast and at that time appeared to be in good health. He is past 60 years of age, which will militate against his chances for recovery. The extent of his injuries cannot be ascertained until further examination is made.
