Amarillo seeks 100 boosters for 1926 West Texas meet
Development body mails letters urging 100 Amarillo citizens to attend the 1926 West Texas Chamber of Commerce convention in Mineral Wells May 4 to 6. The note recalls last year’s fight at Brownwood, outlines trip costs at 45 dollars, and details a special train from Amarillo May 3 with parades in Dallas and Fort Worth, returning May 7. Kenit Shaffer, son of publisher John C. Shaffer, is reported dead in Los Angeles.
