I visited Longview today meeting up with Paul Jones and Marc Welch at the Gregg County Historical Museum. Marc and I went into the museum to cool off while waiting for Paul. After Paul arrived I purchased the 1965 Lobo annual from him then I headed over and took pictures of the progress of the new LEDCO office building on the site of old Longview High School. For my main Longview High School 1932 album click here.
The picture above was published in the March 1936 issue of East Texas in recognition of the tenth anniversary of the founding of the East Texas Chamber of Commerce . This picture was taken on March 24, 1926 showing business leaders meeting at the Gregg County Courthouse to organize the East Texas Chamber of Commerce. This is the front cover of the first edition of East Texas, a magazine published by the East Texas Chamber of Commerce. It shows Chamber President R. M. Kelly.
