Only $10,000 Needed To Insure Alpine Clothing Factory
Alpine business leaders urge residents to fund a new clothing factory with a $10,000 balance to complete capitalization of a $30,000 project. The plant would start with 50 seamstresses, rising to 100, and produce children’s clothing for a San Antonio buyer, delivering a minimum $104,000 yearly payroll and boosting Alpine’s growth. A Monday night meeting at the Chamber of Commerce in Alpine will answer questions as the town races to meet a June 5 deadline.
