Pecans and license plate art

Until a couple of weeks ago, I had never heard of a pecan factory in Taylor. Neither had I heard of art made from license plates. Now, thanks to a visit with my new friend and longtime Taylor resident, 94-years-young Irene Moehnke Schmidt, I know something about both of these topics.

It all started when Irene called and asked if I would be interested in a group photo of workers standing in front of the pecan factory on West Second Street in Taylor. Of course, I said “yes” and made arrangements to pick up the photo.

I wanted to learn as much as possible about this part of Taylor’s history.
