Gas Whoopee
Gas went to Mexico last week from Zapata County, Texas. Through 143 miles of spandy new 12 3/4 inch pipe it hissed across the border to feed iron and steel furnaces at Monterrey, "The Pittsburgh of Mexico." Pioneer in international public utility, United Gas Co. of Texas, already has contracts calling for natural gas exports of 18 million cubic feet daily through their new pipe. No niggards, they made expensive gas whoopee in Monterrey one night last week, lit a mighty "Inaugural Beacon" which spurted up house high from the Public Square.
After fire, filaments. Last week, General Electric Co. of New York let a million-peso contract ($450,000) for the immediate construction at Monterrey of the largest electric lamp bulb factory in Mexico.
