Panhandle, Carson County, Texas, Thurs., August 9, 1962
Site Sought For Historical
Group Medallions To Be Put
4-H’ers W rite About County Camp
After Study Of Newswriting
A survey is being made by
the Texas state Historical
Survey Committee to locate
building, graves and sites of
historical interest in each
county, according to Mrs.
Ralph E. Randel, Carson
County Historical committee
member.
The members of the local
county historical are to be
among 44 county historical
society members which will
attend a regional meeting of
the state committee in Am-
arillo August 18.
At the regional meeting in
Amarillo, one of five to be
held in the state, historical
building medallions will be
awarded for structures of his-
torical, cultural or architec-
tural interest. These will be
the first medallions in the
Panhandle-South Plains area.
Carson County residents
are asked to contact Mrs.
Randel at once if they know
of any site or building which
they feel worthy of a medal-
lion. Applications are being
taken now and will end Sep-
tember 1.
“The structures to be list-
ed are not necessarily open
to the public and any struc-
ture that is hist orically, arch-
itecturally or culturally sig-
nificant to the community or
are is worth of a medallion,"
Mrs. Randel said. “The
building should be judged in
relation to the history of the
area, not of the state," she
added.
Medallions will cost $13.75
and are to be placed and paid
for locally. Final approval

You'd think, wouldn’t you, that a stock car that set a
racing record of twenty-five firsts, twenty-two seconds
and eighteen thirds out of eighty starts in oneyear would
be quite an automobile. And that’s just what the 1911
Mercer Raceaboutt did in 1912. This T-head speedster
tore up the track to establish a record that has never
been matched in the United States. A machine of perfec-
tion, every Mercer was sold with a money-back guaran-
tee that it would do a mile in fifty-one seconds. That
was quite a claim for nearly fifty years ago. Built only
from 1911 through 1914, the Mercer — in view of its per-
formance record-is today in great demand with antique
car collectors.....

ON NEW CHEVROLETS
TO PLEASE EVERYBODY
(WELL... ALMOST EVERYBODY)
Even the most persnickety luxury-
lover couldn’t ask for very much
more than a Jet-smooth Chevrolet
(like that Impala Sport Coupe at the
top). Yet it’s all yours for a Chevrolet
price. (And you know how low that is.)
JET-SMOOTH CHEVROLET
Here’s the best thing that’s happened
to make money go further since
budgets—the lively low-cost Chevy II.
It’s got all kinds of room. And comes
in 11 models, too—like the Nova 2-
Door Sedan (second from top).
CHEVY E NOVA
Want a roomy family car and a sporty
driver’s car for one low price? The
rear-engine Corvair Monza (e.g., that
Club Coupe, third from top) plays
both roles to the hilt. Care to join
the club—and get a buy, to boot?
