It apparently shows a section of the Crazy Water Bottling Company, where carbonation of the mineral water converted it to a "Crazy Fiz", a product similar to the popular carbonated soft drinks of the day. It was also bottled and packaged for shipment here.

[Mineral Wells Mounted Police]
Date: [1930 - 1939]

All are reported to be deceased at time of printing. The picture was furnished to the paper courtesy Mrs. Paul Granbury.

[Old Camp Wolters Entrance]
Date: 1930 - 1939
Creator: unknown
Description: This picture of the entrance to original Camp Wolters was taken sometime in the 1930's. This entrance was located near and behind the National Guard Armory, which is located on United States Highway 180E.

Expansion of Camp Wolters began in 1939; and early in World War II, it became the largest Infantry Replacement Training Center (IRTC) in the nation. Only a couple of the original Camp Wolters buildings remain. They are located on the campus of the Mineral Wells High School.
