WESTERN HOME NURSERY INCORPORATED 
Early in August a corporation capitalized at $50,000 was 
organized at Weatherford, Texas, and is to be known as the Western 
Home Nursery. The expectations of the promoters have been more 
than realized in the facility with which the work has been handled, 
and it is announced that very nearly all details have now been com¬ 
pleted and that stock is being issued to the stockholders. 
This firm has been known for many years as J. W. Tackett & 
Sons, but has been chartered with an authorized capital stock of 
$50,000.00 under the name of Western Home Nursery Co. 
The incorporators are L. J. Tackett, I. E. Tackett, E. M. Tackett 
J. W. Tackett and V. A. Garrison. The first set of officers selected 
is composed of L. J. Tackett, president; I. E. Tackett, vice-presi¬ 
dent; V. A. Garrison, secretary and treasurer. 
The purpose of the new corporation is to conduct a general nur¬ 
sery business, for the growth and sale of fruit and shade trees, trees, 
shrubbery, flowers and bulbs, seeds and cut flowers. It is also the 
purpose of the company to erect commodius greenhouses for the 
purpose of growing all kinds of tropical plants and flowers. 
The new corporation has taken over the land, stock and im¬ 
provements of the original Western Home Nursery, and the business 
will be conducted from the same place, an office being maintained in 
Weatherford. 
There is not a more promising field anywhere, for a business of 
this kind, than the great west and northwest, a territory which is 
already practically covered by the original company. 
To the president of the new corporation, Mr. L. J. Tackett, is 
due the credit for the promotion and successful organization of the 
company. Mr. Tackett is a young man of splendid business ability, 
of untiring energy and live, progressive ideas.
