    A very convincing rendition on that backdrop. Nice!

    Texas, eh? Well, you could have any one of the following:

    • sawmill
    • paper mill
    • steel mill (yep, just like Lone Star Steel)
    • cotton gin
    • vinegar works (Speas Vinegar in Paris, TX)
    • grain elevators
    • soup (Campbell Soup in Paris)
    • bread (Sara Lee in Paris)
    • stockyards (most places in central Texas, west Texas and the Panhandle)
    • oil refinery (down Houstin way)
    • petrochemical plants (ditto)
    • concrete plant (using inbound crushed stone)
    • lignite (Texas Utilities mine-to-power plant)
    • flour (ConAgra Mill in Sherman- wheat in, flour and wheat midds out)
    • peanut brokers (outbound peanuts, such as in Honey Grove)
    The possibilities are vast- as mentioned before, you could pick one section of Texas and come up with quite enough to keep your local crews busy.
