All of them were hand-made by native 146 A TEXAS PIONEER blacksmiths, and at that time they cost five dollars each, partly because of the scarcity of iron and steel. I delivered the sample to Messrs. Norton and Deutz, who were then the leading hardware merchants in San Antonio, whose business connections extended into Mexico, although their trade was mostly confined to Chihuahua. I stated the facts to them and suggested that they should ascertain from northern manufacturers the cost of an impro...ved hoe similar to the model. Act- ing on my advice they arranged to have a better and more highly finished hoe made at a price that gave the retailer in Mexico a liberal profit when sold at three dollars each, consequently they supplanted the ruder implement and in a short time were in common use all over that country. Doubtless others made much money out of the improve- ment, but I received nothing on account of my suggestion except the usual charges for freighting them into the country. The following year a tempting offer was submitted for my acceptance, and I was influenced by its liberal in- ducements to give it favorable consideration.
