ABOUT BANKS?

acquainted. You'll find folks at the Farmers State
Bank courteous, friendly and sincere in helping
you whether you want to deposit money or to
borrow. That's because Farmers State Bank is
truly a service organization . . . anxious to serve

Please mark 1954 as Bosque
County Centennial Year.
Your Centennial officers and di-
rectors met Tuesday evening, No-
vember 6, and entered into consid-
eration of plans for proper obser-
vances of the Centennial year. It
is hoped that all Bosque County
citizens will start thinking and
planning “CENTENNIAL”.
We are all proud to be Texans
and happy to be known as Bosque
citizens. Are we as progressive as
citizens from a number of other
Counties of the state where Cen-
tennial celebrations have been
held? That will be answered in
1954, and the answer depends on
you and me—all of us.
In the celebration of a Centen-
nial we honor our valiant pioneers
by re-creating the life of the times
—that paved the way for our good
and easy living—through drama,
music, social customs and manners,
exhibitions and demonstrations.
The full cooperation of every
group in every part of the County
will be needed, and we urge that
action come very soon in schools,
churches, social and civil groups.
But most of all, it is your—the read-
er of this article—cooperation that
we need. Many appeals will no
doubt be made for all kinds of in-
formation, but here is the present
and first appeal:
First, we need historic facts, in-
formation and legends about the
early settlers out of which a high-
ly exciting story will be woven.
There is no question but that the
materials are contained in letters,
papers, pamphlets, etc., now held
by Bosque County people. Most im-
portant materials are in the minds
of our older pioneers. Their mem-
ories are the treasure houses of
the past.
Won’t you, please now, today,
fill in the spaces below with the
information called for, and mail
to A. L. Bronstad, Secretary, Clif-
ton, Texas. Your wholehearted res-
ponse will be an inspiration to
your officers and will contribute
to a working fund for your pro-
gram committee.
