It is incumbent upon every exhibitor, therefore, to plan new houses and remodelings on a broad scope, even to the extent of overseating his town, since it is through adequate local plants that outsiders may be discouraged from making these illadvised constructions." He disclosed that in addition to the Cole Bros, main house in Bonham undergoing remodeling operations, they will build a fourth house in the 7,000 population town.
