| Transcript | SamHouston is a tough act to follow. Sam Houston did as much for Texas as any man w ho ever lived. He gave Texas independence. On the eve of his j;reat victorv at San Jacinto, the General's hone-weary armv rested near the present site of Shell's Houston refinery and chemical plant. None of us can ever do what Sam Houston did for Texas. But we're happy that Shell is able to play a vital role in the dynamic growth of our great State. By prov iding 7500 jobs in Texas, 5500 in Houston and Harris County alone. By pumping more than a million dollars a day into the Texas economy, through taxes, payrolls, royalty payments, and goods and services purchased from Texas suppliers. A small contribution compared tc Sam Houston's. But as we said before, the General's a tough act to follow. 396 |
