From a pamphlet published by Jones: "The Gulf Building is more than an office structure...it is, in intent and fact, a monument...to every Texan who with unsurpassed courage has met the work and trial of pioneering and, overcoming the handicaps of ignorance and prejudice, has risen to an undisputed position of distinction. From Bowie, Crockett and Houston, undaunted in the face of murderous thousands, down the years through changing economic planes, through war and devastation, Texas has with unfaltering vision struggled to create a greater Southwest. The achievement has been worthy of the effort. Today the enterprise and progress of Texas is unchallenged." | Source: "The Gulf Building: Thirty-five Floors, One Thousand Offices." http://digital.lib.uh.edu/collection/p15195coll1/item/131/Download Original File
