Some excerpts from there:
"When Thomas Sneed Byrne announced the opening of his construction company in a small Fort Worth office in 1923, 
he wrote personal notes to each of his longtime Fort Worth friends and associates, 
promising that if given a construction job, he would surpass their expectations. 
Today, Fort Worth's most enduring landmarks stand as a testimony to the fulfillment of Mr. Byrne's Promise.
