Whistles Begin the Day's Work
Dallas Morning News
October 4, 1890
When 7 o'clock strikes the many whistles of the manufacturing establishments announce the beginning of another day's labor in a way that is gratifying to the ears of the Wacoite, for it means that every one of these whistles is at a center for disbursing funds, in the aggregate in large amounts to laborers or skilled employees, contributing much to the local trade of the city.
A curious coincidence is that all the cottonworking establishments use a deep bass or steamboat whistle, and when all these, the three cotton compresses, the cotton mills, the cotton seed oil mill, turn loose, it recalls steamboating days on the Mississippi. There are about a score of different whistles that have distinguishable tones.
