One Plant Building Plans to Process Frozen Foods in L A
San Antonio considers expanding the frozen foods industry with two new plants. Alamo Frozen Foods at Military Highway and Missouri Pacific tracks, a $150000 investment by Henry E. Stumberg, aims to open between September 7 and October 1. It will freeze and package Mexican products like tamales and enchiladas and a new item called Tocktails. A second building to freeze fruits is underway on the same tract. The Brownsville Pan-Amer Freezers plant, a $300000 operation, packs 106000 pounds of pineapple daily and drew orders totaling more than $2 million after opening.

Waste a market voiced by Wesley Grote in San Antonio
Wesley Grote, supervisor for the Farm Security Administration in Bexar and Medina counties, urged a new public market in San Antonio and a large freezing plant after farmers faced stifling prices. He noted 800 irrigated county farmers affected, poor grading, and lack of selling organization in Medina and Frio counties. He highlighted wage rises to $1.40 per hour for pickers, transportation costs, and postwar economic strains on produce.
