Mercedes, Texas, Thursday, March 16, 1967
Howdy... and welcome to Mercedes. All of us are
mighty glad to play host to the great Rio Grande Valley
Livestock Show and Rodeo. And ... we're especially
proud that Derrelene Ryan, a Mercedes girl, has been cho-
sen as Stockshow Cover Girl.
We invite all the Valley visi-
tors, and the homefolks too,
to stop by and visit with us
while in town for the Stock-
show and Rodeo. You'll find
a big old fashioned 'Western
Welcome' waiting for you at
Minimax.
