AMARILLO with a mild commercial in the last paragraph AMARILLO has a short past. It was born with a cocklebur under its civic tail back in 1887, during the days when a branding iron was a sacred instrument and the first railroad was coming through. The way one story goes, man name of Sanborn ollered the cowboys of the LX Ranch a town lot apiece if they'd vote for his town (then known as Oneida) in a contest which developed over the location of the count) seat. Since the LX hands constituted a legal, or shooting, majority, justice triumphed. "Amarillo" derived from the yellow flowers that, along with cattle, decorated the surrounding prairie. Highly productive Texas soil caused agriculture to flourish. Early farmers raised giant-size vegetables. Wheat liked the Panhandle. Cotton was planted after the accidental discovery that cottonseeds, in which an early shipment of eggs was packed, would grow. Highways and railroads crossed at Amarillo. Oil, natural gas and helium were discovered. Airlines came zooming in. Amarillo, first in the nation in retail sales per household, is close to the stuff an advertiser looks for when he wants business. KGNC gives its advertisers a clean shot at Panhandle hospitality and loyalty. NBC AFFILIATE AM: 10,000 watts, 710 kc. TV: Channel 4.
