摘要:
From 1894 to 1934, a span of forty years that saw its parent company go from coal mining to oil drilling, the Texas Pacific Mercentile and Manufacturing Company (TPM&M) operated and managed various commercial and service enterprises that were essential to the life and history of Thurber, Texas. Because Thurber was a company town wholly-owned by the Texas and Pacific Coal Company, the inhabitants viewed TPM&M with suspicion before and after the unization of the town in 1903, believing its practices were monopolostic and exploitative. This paper gives a history of TPM&M, its enterprised, and investigates the perception held by the residents of Thurber and the surrounding countryside towards the mercantile company.
