Franchising law involves helping new business owners evaluate franchising opportunities, and assist in the purchase and operation of business franchises -- an alternative to starting a new, independent business from scratch. Franchising allows businesses owners to reduce their investment risk by associating with an established company, but may also require business owners to relinquish significant control over their business.
Texico (62889 - also called Field) is an unincorporated community in Jefferson County, Illinois, United States. The population was 943 at the 2000 census. Texico was named by Cashus M. Columbus Theodore Claybourn (1860 - 1936), a resident of Texico from his birth until 1901, when he moved to Texas. Cashus derived the name of "Texico" by using Tex for Texas where he had moved, the I for Illinois, the C for Claybourn, and O for Osborns, a family which owned the land on the south side of the main road in the town.
