New Mexico Tourist Bureau Formed To Promote State
About 30 New Mexico businessmen met in Albuquerque on November 15 to form a state tourist bureau aimed at advertising the state's attractions to national and world audiences. John P. Murphy was elected president with officers Kilby, Kremer, and Conway among others. An executive committee will select a board of directors, seek public input on a name, and decide funding plans, possibly via private subscriptions and state appropriations, while avoiding collector fees for now.
