FORTUNE
Texas December 1939 .... detail
On a map of Texas 19??, a paper paste-up perspective, I used some
hundreds of coloured map pins to locate resources, industries etc. I
worked from a mass of detailed data, enough for a dozen Texases, with
statistically minded researchers . The result was a colourful but confusing
jumble. The girls volunteered to remove and arrange the clusters of pins
if I would let them. Sure, I think they had more fun than I would have
done – for them a departure into new pastures. If you look closely
some pin holes are visible in the repro.” |
