CENTENNIAL TRAIN IS
WORTH $100,000,000
IN TRIP TO EAST
THE CORRIGAN PRESS
Page Seven
Dallas.—The Texas Centen-
nial Special Train was worth
$100,000,000 in ultimate bene-
fits to Texas in its triumphant
tour through the East and
Middle West, eminent econo-
mists estimated this week as
reports of its unprecedented
success continued to pour in
from many states. The train,
bearing Governor James V.
Allred, the University of Tex-
as Longhorn Band and fifty
prominent Texans, returned
to the Lone Star State late
last week after a tour which
extended through seventeen
major cities of the country.
It was freely declared that
no state has ever been the
beneficiary of so much favor-
able publicity in such a brief
space of time. The Texas party
was accorded a rousing re-
ception by the press through-
out the country, and more
than 25 radio broadcasts, sev-
eral over national and region-
al networks, were crowded
into the eventful ten days
elapsing between the trii
from Dallas to New York and
return. Governors of all states
and mayors of all cities par-
ticipated in receptions for the
cowboy-hatted Texans.
Texans were unanimous in
praising the energetic partici-
pation of Governor Allred,
declaring that lasting benefits
to the state resulted from
his leadership |in spreading
the good news of Texas and
its Centennial Celebrations.
The Governor’s 39 addresses
on the tour were heard by
millions.

It has been my experience that a gas kitchen is the most
economical one that can be used. My gas bills for range,
water heater and Electrolux refrigerator have been less than I
previously paid for fuel for cooking only. My summer gas bills
were as follows: 1934: August, $4.18; Sept., $4.66; 1935: May,
$4.60; June, $4.42; July, $4.00.
There is nothing that can surpass gas as a fuel.
Yours very truly,
