Ccjerran has => good physical layout. Wide streets
permit good traffic .movement, and convenient parking,
almost *il of the time. As a growing city it will require
periodic improvements, in its power or sewer plants,

It can use more street crossings, traffic markings,
*o lessen traffic hazards and accidents. Tn a few places
the need for traffic lights is great. It needs more streets
paved, and a city plan in operation for several years
will continue this program. Its City Park, that is used

Industry's job is to build ... and build it does. In Coleman it builds western
clothes, soft drinks, pastries, bricks, cattle feeds and many other products,
to form a strong part of the city's economy. 1
But industry builds more. It builds a community, and homes and schools,
and always a better Coleman. The people of industry — oil drilling crews,
mill workers, factory employees, salesmen — are a large and important
part of our city and its functions.

We are proud of our industrial community, and welcome this opportunity
to recognize them during Coleman Industrial Week.
