Thanks Leo
And just like the present Austin-Western/Western Wheeled Scraper works the
property has went to a multi-industrial property. How both WW and the stove
works got to town is the way a lot of towns try and coerces industry to locate
in the towns by giving tax breaks and other rebates. And bribes are looked
down
on in government activities and rebates are the same as bribes and not allowed
by the Federal Government in Railroad activities but that is how Ft. Worth got
BN to move all the offices there.

Subject: [CBQ] montgomery industries
I just wrote 5 paragraphs with references from 1937 city directory and the
Aurora Story to answer the questions on Rathbone,Sard and Aurora Refining
but for some reason I checked the group before sending.
Since Steve promises to address in a fuutre article I deleted my response.
But I will make a couple points.
The property is in Aurora. My sources make no connection to the Q inducing
the company. Rather the city of Aurora made some big concessions. And one
point Steve probably wont address; the stove works were later occupied by
several industries. One of which I believe, based on city directory info.,
was a wholesale grocer.
