TWO HlJNllREf) TWENTY SIX
COWBOYS ENTER, BESIDES
SPECIAL EVENTS
a paper filled wun greeting* irom
the merchant*, and advertisements
„f special wares they, wanted to
tell the folks about, program of the
three days, rules of the rodeo and
countless atones and pictures of
the Reunion.
From 1932 through 1935, The
American issued an "extra” during
the Reunion, between the reirular
publication dates. The headlines of
the paper as the Reunion opened in
tS)3® read. “Thousands are here as
Reunion Opens; New and old
Weat Texas linked in, colorful pa-
rade", and a story in the issue im-
mediately following the celebra-
tion Rave the attendance as 12,000
persons for the three days.
However, * editorials in The
American in 193ft and Jim were
more prophetic than was probably
realized at the time.'
Portions of these editorials fol-
low:
1930—
“The Texas Cowboy Reunion was
a pipe' dream that was quickly
madie into a reality. Never was a
project jn Stamford conceived and
carried out with Iff cater dispatch
or greater success -this, too, in'
what many people insist on calling
a hard year.
-----“AITStffTirford to-ltsv*-
hoen pleased with the affair ami
likewise all the thousand^ of vis-
itors. Presumably it is a settled
fact now that the Reunion will be
a permanent institution. As such it
was originally planned, but it was
realized from tpe first that the
)ife of the enterprise hinged on the
two daughters, Mary Dena and
Vannie Boa, of Hamlin, Mr. and
Mrs. W. S. Slaughter of Commerce
and Mrs. W. E. Martin of Fort
Worth.
