Mr. Fort Worth Boosts From Rags to Riehesi' Amon Giles Carter Hlled the boots of a typical Horatio Alger character. Every Cow- towner knows thc story of his early business venture in selling chicken sandwiches at the train station in Bowie. When the chicken supply di- minished, he substituted rabbit meat. Technicalities never bothered Amon. For S5 he became a jockey before he learned to ride. 'Sticks A Fist in Every Pie Contributions of M-r. Carter Qaliases -Range Rider of the Air, The West Texan, West Texas' Top Cowhand, Range Boss of West Texas and Mr. Fort Worthl lie in five main fields. They are journalism, education, oil, aviation and civic enterprises. Before entering the newspaper busi- ness, Mr. Carter had had some ex- perience with selling and advertising. When the FORT WORTH STAR was born in 1906, he became the adver- tising manager. This is logical since he was the only one in that depart- ment. About six weeks later when the STAR scooped its rivals on the.San Francisco earthquake, Amon had a heyday.

Eventually Hearst took his first defeat when he sold out to Carte-r. The moral of this story is nnever underestimate the power of a woman-or Amon G. Carterf' As radio began to appear on the scene. Mr. Carter decided he might as well be the one to scoop himself: WBAP and WBAP-TV grew from a S300 transmitting set. Schools Benefit From His Aid Because he wanted children to have the advantages he missed, he gave freely to education, Five schools in particular owe Mr. Carter thanks. Carter-Riverside , received mercury street lights and 3550.000 for scholar- ships and athletics. YMCA's Camp Carter is for the use of Carter and other high school students. To Culver Military Academy, where his son attended. he donated a 51 bell carillon and Memorial Chapel. From him TWC received a scholar- ship fund and band uniforms. TCU came into his good will and pocket- book when he became an avid football fan. In gratitude TCU Stadium became Amon Carter Stadium. and the school conferred an honorary doctorls degree upon him. Texas Tech, his baby in West Texas, gave him his first hon- orary doctor of law degree. If At First You Don't Succeed Any true Texas millionaire has wig- gled his toes in oil.
