That discovery at Spindletop started our modern Texas petroleum industry and made Texas the nation's leading oil state. In the forty years since Spindletop blew in, nearly 200,000 wells have been drilled throughout Texas. Over 500 separate fields are now producing in all parts of the State.

Today Texas supplies over one-third of the Nation's oil and has over half of its petroleum reserves. Our industry, by refining almost all of this oil in Texas, has created our largest manufacturing enterprise. By furnishing cheap fuel it has laid the foundation for many other Texas industries. From a handful of Texans forty years ago, this industry has grown until now, directly or indirectly, it supports almost one million of our people. Its expenditures reach into every section of the State and benefit every Texan.

The discovery of first gusher oil field at Spindletop has turned out to be one of the most important events in the history of our slate. Today all of Texas salutes Spindletop! On October 9, 10 and 11, during its annual convention at Beaumont, the Texas Mid-Continent Oil Gas Association will dedicate a monument to Spindletop. Inscribed in ageless Texas granite will be the story of oil: Petroleum has revolutionized industry and transportation; it has created untold wealth, built cities furnished employment for hundreds of thousands and contributed billions of dollars in taxes to support institutions of government, in a brief span of years it has altered i vay of life through out the ilis more than a monument to petroleum. It is a tribute to Texas enterprise and initiative which in forty years have built a great industry in our State an industry in which you and everv other Texan share. TEXAS OIL GAS ASSOCIATION.
