Chamber Revie
Plans Future Events
Directors of Coleman Cham-
ber of Commerce, in session
last Wednesday evening at the
Chamber office, reviewed a
number of successfully com
pleted recent events and made
tentative plans for some future
ones. Apparently the most
important future event discus
sed is the possible sending out
of tourism brochures for the
City and County. The brochure,
entitled "Why and What—Cole
man. Texas," will be a tri-fold
with ten pictures in four colors,
if printed as discussed. These
and people if Chamber plans
can be realized.
However, the project is an
expensive one. which can be
accomplished only with the help
and support of all "of Coleman.
Tentative plans call for ap
order of 12,500. or a five year
supply, at a cost of $1650. In
referring to this project, direc
tors, the president and the
CofC manager say, "Help Us

to be that a state code would
only make the issue more
confusing and that what is
needed is either more simple
city building, codes or a more
extensive WCTCOG Code.
Compton has invited City
Manager Roy McCorkle to
accompany him to the next
COG Meeting.
Finally some leads were
discussed on new housing for
Coleman.
Plans were finalized for the
Polled Hereford Show held
here Friday evening, a show,
we now know, turned out to be
a tremendous success. The
Chamber manager and presi
dent now state, concerning this
event, that some 250 to 300
people were in town for the
Rodeo and Show, and that
these people spent probably
$17.00 per person per day.
They report a remark by the
,owner "of one restaurant to the
effect that his business fared
hewer than during the big
rodeo. They state further that
the Chamber's one concern is
to bring transit to Coleman, but
to do so money has to be spent,
spend money

watermelon, spitting and
beard growing contests, and
their work with the Rodeo
Parade.
