The LongView (Home, photographed from 22,000 miles away) Most of us at Texas Gulf have children. Many, including the president, have young children. These are a multitude of reasons why the long view of the world is a way of life at Texas Gulf Sulphur Company. Even without the children, a company which has been successful in developing natural resources over several generations would emphasize long-range planning, thinking in terms not just of five or ten years ahead, but 20, 50 and 100 years. A major mine with its processing and related facilities must be viable for at least two decades rf it is to be rewarding to stockholders, employees and the community. Executives of natural resources companies learn to contemplate the prospects for developing natural resources for their children and children’s children; the materials for continued growth in the devel- oped regions of the earth; the requirements for eradicating poverty, disease and starvation in less privileged parts of the globe and the wherewithal for setting them on the way to fuller development. They must think of how these things may be done without disturbing man’s environ- ment in unacceptable ways. The long view is a way of life for us. Texas Gulf Sulphur Company.
