This is a case wherein man yielded Ia his desire

FINE DETERMINATION WINS

Never in all her history has Amarillo put over
more successful event than that closed Thursday
night, including the Buyers and Sellers Annual
Convention. the Automobile and Style Show.
This is another illustration OF the truth OF the
old saying: Where there's WILL there's always a
wayT This event was promoted by the auto
mobile and accessory dealers OF the city. II was
in the meetings OF the Amarillo Panhandle Auto
motive Association that the determination was
reached TO stage the shows simultaneously with
the Buyers and Sellers Annual Convention.
When the preliminary plans OF the automobile
men and their associates. first were noiscd about,
there were many discouraging oiiset,ing attitude,
reflected. The statement was made that the events
came during a season OF depression and tina, the
people from the surrounding communities and
states would not attend tina, no great success can
be achieved. Instead OF dscouraging the au,omo-
bile men. these opposing. or cold water attitudes
only tended TO put backbone into the scheme and
from the first suggestion OF the events until their
final successful contamination there was never a
minute when doubt existed in the minds OF the
promoters.
This great success gives ample testimony to

n,anded and established for itself place in the
affairs OF men, so have those who are engaged in
the automobile business. These men have demon
strated their importance in this city, in the Texas
Plains. and the future doubtless hold many other
revelations OF their worth as community builders
and factors for the general good.
These statements are not made to reflect dis.
ereditably on any other branch OF business repre-
scented in the attractions just closed with such
marked showing OF success. but rather to call par
ticuar attention TO the extraordinary work OF the
automobile and accessory men as leaders OF this
decidedly advantageous enterprise.
Am3illo is to be congratulated on the success
OF the qiple attraction. IL was indeed gloom
killer and the people will appreciate this fac,
more and more as the days come and GO Every
participant in the convention and shows expresses
