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...

I'm guessing it's starch or 'sizing' for clothing (TEXtiles).[8|] But then again, it might just be a bottle with 'Texas' spelled phonetically.[8D]

Hey Norm. I think you're right! 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. Thanks, GARY

Hey Glopf 43,
I dug this bottle today. Yours looks better. 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?

Here is a pic of my Texize. Mine has the top to it, but is chipped at the base on one side.

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
