ROWNWOOD in the very heart of
Texas is daily becoming known
over the Southwest as the "Conven
tion City of Texas."
Ten conventions
here for 1924 prove
that statement and
further goes "on to
show that the city
is becoming known
as a progressive
place in which the
conventions can be
held because of the
increase each year
year in the number
of conventions en
tertained by this
city.

The "West Texas Chamber of Com
merce convention considered one of
the largest conventions in Texas after
15000 attended the meeting at San
Angelo last year will nieet in Brown
wood May 13 14 and 13. The date set
for the state annual convention of the
American Legion is August IS 19 and
20
Visitors from all over Texas will
assemble in Brownwood for a couple
of days May 9 and 10 when the
United Commercial Travelers hold
"their annual state convention This
will be followed in two days by. the
big event of the year. the "West Texas
Chamber of Commerce conveutiou.
As quickly as Brownwood can be-
come rested from entertaining the
expected 15000 visitors for the Cham
ber of Commerce convention a district
summer normal will bo conducted
here starting at Howard Payne Col-
lege June 9 and lasting through Aug-
vears. Brownwood has seen asubstan-J ust S. A large number of students
tial rise in business and grwoth with-' who expect to teach next year will be
out booms until today it is a city of here for this two months' session of
13000 in habitants and is considered school
one of the most important industrial "While the normal is in session the
and educational centers of Central i Texas A eieiinariay Association will
Texas both the Baptist and Presby-' call its annual meeting to order June
terian denominations maintaining col-
leges there.
The Santa Fe and Frisco railroads
consider Brownwood one of their
main points along their ' respective
lines. Both roads have large depots.
with trains arriving at practically all
hours of the day from points all over
Texas. The Santa Fe system has re-
cently purchased a hilly site within
only a few minutes drive" from the city
for the purpose of crushing rock to
be used on its lines over Texas to be
distributed from here. A track cost-
ing $70000 is now being laid -to this
site.
Along publicity lines Brownwood
has probably gotten more mention in
newspapers and is better known over
the Cnited States than any other city
its size in the nation because of the
fame Of the "Old Gray Mare Band"
which was organized and directed -by
R. Wright Armstrong secretary of the
progressive Chamber of Commerce.
The trip of this organization half way
across the continent to the National
The get-together will last only
two days the guests leaving June 27.
August 7 S and 9' have been the days
set for the Rural Letter Carriers' an-
nual convention here. This "meeting
also will draw guests here from all
sections of Texas This convention
will be closely followed by the state
convention of the American Legion
which convenes here August 18 19
and 20.
Teachers from this section of Cen-
tral Texas will hold an institute prior
to the opening of the public schools

made for the assembly to start work

College and was closed in an informal
way with a big open air banquet. -

Christy Exhibition
ybf Trained Animals
' a Texas Enterprise
The Christy Brothers exhibition of
trained animals both wild and domes-
tic plaved two engagements here
Monday and pleased the large crowds
in attendance. It was stated in con-
nection with the show that it is the
only one of its kind which is entirely
a Texas product all tne equipment
having been made in this state and
the show being owned and operated
by Texas people.
The exhibition was a very worthy
one .and pleased the large crowds of
' people who sat in the unpleasantly
awcbilly atmosphere for two hours or
w more ai uutu pcniwmim-v w.
tha stunts performed by the trained
animals are unusual the horses be-
'ing especially .good and the throe .ele-
phants about the best trained on . the
road. Last night a large crowd re-
roained for the after show to see a
five minute wrestling bout between
. Nick Londos and JDutch Wilson the
latter a Brownwood boy who got $15
for staying on the mat five minutes
with the circus professional.
Francisco was probably its greatest!
accomplishment Along the route it
played for governors and in the larger
cities through which it passed. Upon
its arrival in California it was greeted
by thousands and was generally pro-
nounced the best band in attendance
although it received thin! place Jn the
nation-wide contest losing to a. Cali-
fornia organization. The band was
presented a large loving cup as being
the best marching band at the conven-
Brownwood does not want to lose
its- newly acquired title as the "Con-
vention City of Texas." and the close
of 1921 will see more conventions
named to come here in 192S if present
plans being made by the Brownwood
Chamber of Commerce are perfected.
The two largest conventions which
Brownwood is destrious of entertaln-
'ns next year as is shown by their
having been presented invitations
from the Chamber of Commerce are .

The Harley Sadler
Chautauqua
It should be remembered that the
Old Gray Mare band had a contract-
for one year with Mr. Sadler to bring
his Chautauqua to Brownwood and
give a series of entertainments fOr
the benefit of our band. It so hap
pened that the date set a year in ad-
zvce. -ftas in conflict with Dr. Trued
r.-vival.
AVhen Mr. Sadler came in town to
complete final arrangements to com-
ing with his shows as manager of
the band I asked Mr. Sadler if it
would be possible for him to change
his date with us. With a big financial
loss to him be readily agreed to can-
cel ihe date which according to our
contract he could have held us.
The shows are now with us giving
a neric of very high class entertain
raents. The band is trying to raise
money with which to buy much need-
ed equipment ahd 'pay olt some debts?
We are sure the people will appre-
ciate the attitude ot Mr. Sadler in re-
gards to the respect he held for the
revival and the loyalty our .people
have for the band and turn out and
give big houses at each and every per-
formance. Every program is a guar-
anteed attraction.
The Old Gray Mara and all concern-
ed will appreciate co-operation to
make this a success.
