In many respects Abilene has
been unique In the 1905 it be-
came the headquarters of large
holding concern known as the
United Telephone and Electric
company a corporation with 10
subsidiary enterprises which en-
braced everything from a hotel
company to grocery chain. The
corporation was conceived and de-
veloped by C. L. Brown who spent
a fortune on philanthropic COM
munity projects. These included a
340-acre park with free boating
and swimming beautiful home
for the aged and an orphans
home. c. L. Brown and Browns
park were known throughout the
Midwest.
Abilene also likes to boast about
its 1898 per cent pure drinking

center where tine National Cours-
ing association matches the fast

But of all its boasts Abilene's
proudest is that ii is the home

for the celebration "for EisenhoW-

One thing the folks here most
would like to see is a visit BY
the General to his old hangout at
Jonah Callahan's confectionery.
The place has changed consider
ably but Jonah a personal friend
of likes has kept one section Of
the room as "Ike's corner" It is
so labeled and is fitted with one
of the old round oak tables with
twisted iron legs at which the Gen
eral slipped many a soda.
Plans for the celebration have
been in the works since Abilene
