The introduction for James Howard's Big D Is for Dallas has
been written by Oscar Handlin of Harvard University. Howard's

and population. There is also a treatment of topics such as
Neiman-Marcus, the Republic National and First National banks,
the Dallas News, and the Texas Almanac. There are also biograph-
ical sketches of G. B. Dealy, John Rosenfield, E. L. DeGolyer,
Nathan Adams, Fred Florence, Howard Ardrey, and others.
Through the courtesy of LeGrande D. Kelly, 510 West Brow
Road, Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, an excellent family history
has come to the attention of the Association. In addition to a
thorough genealogical treatment of the Kelly family and its con-
nections, The Family History of Virginia L. Kelly contains con-
siderable information on George A. Kelly that will be of par-
ticular importance to persons interested in the business and agri-
cultural history of Texas. The business history relating to the
development of the Kelly plow and the founding of the Kelly
Plow Company of Longview is touched upon on p. 31, under the

cluded in the book are numerous photographs and photostatic
copies of documents and drawings.
