I just heard that Stetsons and Resistols come from the same factory in Garland, TX.
Is this true?

Supposedly, Mr. Stetson learned his hat making skills here in the great state of Mississippi.

Anyone can learn to make a great hat.
The trick is finding a hat-buying culture of Texans to make your hats famous.

Brisket is yummy, but it is not to be confused with bar-b-que, which is made with pork.

Yes. Resistol was originally made in Longview, though. I only add this fact to try and upstage Fred's answer.
