Sherman Embraces Cotton Manufacture and Oil Mill Boom
Sherman Texas forges ahead with a $150000 factory, a 300 foot front, and modern machinery to spin cotton into seamless bags and grow the cottonseed oil business led by J C Tassey. The town touts guaranteed backing, a lighted brick plant, and calls cotton manufacturing the South’s finest enterprise opportunity. There is history of Tellico era missteps, abolitionist fears, and lessons learned about risk and market swings in cotton goods and seed oil.
