"Texize" What the heck? - 2/18/2005 10:31:27 PM    glopf43   Posts: 190 Joined: 12/17/2004 From: NORTH CAROLINA Status: offline Hey All. I dug this one up today. I don't care if it's worth anything. I was just wondering if anyone has ever heard of "Texize". It's a big bottle 10" tall and well over a ouart, although it's not marked. I thought it might be beer but that's alot of beer for one bottle! But, then again, it is "Tex-'s'-ize". I'll send two pics. I love the script! Thanks...

But then again, it might just be a bottle with 'Texas' spelled phonetically. _____________________________ Norm Miller (in reply to glopf43) Post #: 3

I found a 'Clorox' today in the same dump that had the same color and type of textured embossing. In fact I found some other things related to cleaning ie; amonia, etc. I will be posting some pics on "digging and finding" after this weekends dump diving is complete.

Mine has a crack and has been in dirt since the 1950's, when it was used in that location. I did find out that it is in fact just like a pine-sol. McDonald and Associates...Do a search for them. Have you established the rarity or value? _____________________________ I live by the Golden Rule. I sing the Cherokee Morning Song, I walk a white path and I wait for the setting Sun.

RE: "Texize" What the heck? - 3/16/2005 3:29:33 PM    Rockfish   Posts: 36 Joined: 1/12/2005 From: East Coast Status: offline Madman, I think these ARE form the 40's as all of the other bottles I found around this one, were liquors and surprisingly...baby bottles, from the 40's and 50's. I did a search, and found one hit referring to a lawsuit. It was in a McDaonald's and Ass. search, stating Bristol-Myers Co. VS. Texize Chemicals, Inc. 168 USPQ zd 1197. I would love to know more about it. Thank You for the reply. Rockfish _____________________________ I live by the Golden Rule.

RE: "Texize" What the heck? - 3/20/2005 1:57:57 AM    Gnatstomper   Posts: 2 Joined: 3/19/2005 Status: offline Texize made things like liquid starch, bleach, household cleaners and the like. The company actually stuck around for a while until it was bought out by Dow Chemical in 1986. (in reply to glopf43) Post #: 11

I will provide info on texize if anyone is interested at a later time. I am a former employee of Texize Billbritt2@aol.com (in reply to glopf43) Post #: 12

RE: "Texize" What the heck? - 4/28/2009 8:36:23 PM    idotdog   Posts: 2 Joined: 4/28/2009 Status: offline Hey Glopf43, The bottle you have pictured is a 32oz, quart, bleach bottle. The Chlorine bleach was bottled by the Texize Chemical Company in Mauldin, SC which is located near Greenville, SC. I am a retiree from that company after 32 years. They are no longer in business. They were bought out by the Dow Chemical and the name changed to Dowbrands when they move up north. Don't know if those bottles have any value or not but if they do I have a few myself. If the bottle has the initials LGW on the bottom, it was made by the Laurens Glass Works in Laurens, SC and would date back to the late 50's or 60's. Good luck on you bottle hunting.

RE: "Texize" What the heck? - 4/28/2009 8:49:27 PM    idotdog   Posts: 2 Joined: 4/28/2009 Status: offline Glopf43, Also, this is a continuation of my previous post. The name Texize Came from the product that started the company, Textile Sizing used by the textile mills. And the company went on to make cleaners for the mills and as the story goes, the mill employees started carrying the cleaner home with them and the company came up with a Home version that was not as strong and put it in the stores for the public and also started making bleach, starch, dish detergent, window cleaner, pine cleaner and other products. If you have any more questions, I will try to answer them. Doug Wilson Mauldin SC (idotdog@charter.net) (in reply to glopf43) Post #: 16

I got it from my uncle in Clinton, S C. Most of  my mother's family worked in the mill. Don't know if they made the Texize product or not?  The only bottles I have ever found like that were clear. Thanks for telling me where they came from and what they were used for.                                                                                 Marvin       Attachment (1) (in reply to idotdog) Post #: 17
