prior owners and history buffs were
on hand last Saturday morning for
the historical marker dedication at
The Acme Dry Goods Co. on North
Courthouse Square in Llano.
Longtime Acme employee Janet
Hackworth unveiled the marker
: while members of the Wallace family
: read the marker to the
assembled group. Joe Tom and Mary
Fay Wallace and William (Billy) and
Pat Wallace were introduced as
previous owners. Current owners
Mr. and Mrs. Gene Chollett invited
the Wallaces to read the marker.
Sarah Franklin, chairman of the
Llano County Historical Commis-
sion, presented a history of the
company and a description of the
Acme buildings. Refreshments and
an open house followed the dedica-
tion.
A portion of the remarks presen-
ted by Mrs. Franklin were:
“My commission and I appreciate
your coming to the dedication of the
Acme building historical marker this
morning. It is the first that we have
around the square. A medallion
means that a building is a historic
landmark and has not changed
architecturally in 50 years. This
building was constructed in 1892 of
red brick and local stone by local
stonemason and builder John
Goodman, who, incidentally, built
many of the buildings around the
square. The architectural description
in the national register says, the
round arch transoms and double
entry doors, so typical of that period,
are still here, and as you can see, the
two windows with their cut stone
ledges.
“The building has always housed a
series of dry good businesses. On the
west side, there has been a saloon
called the Palace Saloon and pool
hall, a restaurant, a grocery store
and now, of course, a pharmacy. On
The Llano Yellow Jacket marching
band and a host of well-wishers who
traveled with them to Brady for the
district marching contest celebrated
the announcement that Llano and its
neighbor, Fredericksburg, had
earned Division I honors and would
advance to the regional contest to be
held in AUstin this Saturday,
October 29, in Memorial Stadium.
Llano is scheduled to march at 3:15
p.m.
Three judges described the Llano
prsentation as “good balance from
top to bottom,” "great show de-
sign,” "fine selection of music,”
and “Wow, neat show, fun music, go
for it, congratulations.”
Judges were also critical on points
that would improve the performance,
which was recorded on tape as the
band performance was in progress.
Counsel included more attention to
spacing, Intonations and tone quality
■sore important than volume, but for
the most part, the criticism was
considered minor.
Other compliments included the
