with prominent business man of
Amarillo, tho question was asked
him, IL no had heard anyone who
had como hero to take a look over

handle and IL so what was the COM
plant. The answer was, no. This
brought 10 mind the fact that thore
occurred In "a north Texas paper al
few days ago, an interview from
travelling man who had for the
past fcw months made this city his
headquarters, hut who had moved
back 10 his fomor home in north
Texas 10 The garden spot" as he
termed it. In this interview the
