W.P. Soash Land Company.

Hide Profile

Founded by William Pulver Soash in 1905, The W.P. Soash Land Company sold land tracts in the Texas Panhandle. Land developer and colonizer William Pulver Soash used excursion trains to promote lands which were available through the W.P. Soash Land Company. A company magazine entitled "The Golden West" was used to advertise and create an interest in the areas being opened. The magazine also included social, economic, and political discussions. In 1912, Soash was forced to close the land company due to three years of drought in the Texas Panhandle region.
