Panhandle Merchants Spotlight Progress at State Fair
At the Merchants Building the 1947 exhibits outshine all others with home appliances and automotive displays. The Perma Stone exterior renovation frames a sprawling show featuring Philips Petroleum and Mayfield displays, Northwest Texas Hospital nursing booth, Radio KFDA, and dozens of local firms showcasing products from grain to furniture. Neon sign makers, meat judging boards, and Farmall Cub tractors highlight a day of busy booths and crowds.
