Benson Emerges as Key Freight Origin in Regional Trade
Benson grows as a distributing hub with multiple mercantile firms supplying outlying towns. The export mix includes farm produce like cantelopes and melons, tomatoes, alfalfa, honey, and canned goods from local factories. Cattle, mineral ores, Mohair, and anticipated manufactured goods also feed shipments to El Paso and Los Angeles.
