=?c V- GRAHAM RAH AM, ‘‘The Gateway to the west,” has grown to be a prosperous town of over six thousand in population since it’s founding in 1872, by Colonel E. S. Graham. It has pro- gressed slowly but surely and is now one of the most substan- tial cities of it’s size in Texas. Graham is the county seat of Young County. 'The building program of the city for 1928 exceeded one million dollars. This expenditure included the building of an ($80,000) eighty thousand dollar civic auditorium, a ($250,000) two hundred and fifty thousand dollar reservoir, and a ($25,000) twenty-five thousand dollar swimming pool. The city has many concrete sidewalks and thirty blocks of street paving. Plans are being made for additional paving. The city is blessed with an abundance of natural gas, electric service, thirty-five miles of water mains, twenty-five miles of sewer- age and a white way throughout the business district. The schools are of the most modern type; the high school having 29] 2 units of affiliation. The city boasts eight churches, two national banks, and three up-to-date hotels. The C. R. I. G. and the W. F. S. Railroads have lines to Graham. The Graham Mill and Ele- vator Co., one of the largest mills west of Fort Worth, is located here. Several years ago a modern community hospital was built by public subscription. The construction of sixty-seven miles of pavement is in progress and an A-i airport will soon be ready to receive planes. The main industries around Graham are oil drilling and refin- ing, agriculture, cattle and poultry raising, and dairying. Graham is one of the most important oil centers in Texas and a high grade of oil is produced here. The business men of the town have organized a Rotary Club, Lions Club, and a Chamber of Commerce. There are also several women’s clubs. The people of Graham are hospitable and friendly. It’s citizenry is unsurpassed. Graham is a place that any one might be proud to call home. Page Eight
