Several thousand copies of the folder were ordered In 1949 from the Klamath Printing Company In Klamath Falls and maiUrf tn -h,. bers of commerce, automobile as sociations, major oil companies and other interested agencies through out the United States and Canada. Copies were handed out personally by local business people topping ucrc. on March 8, 1950, . a group of Fort Klamath business people met and organised the Fort Klamath Business Association. Mrs. Mvrtla Wlmer was named secretary-man-ager and still serves in that capa city. The advisory board Includes Guss A. Page, Carl F. Wilson and J. Quince Buell. Each succeeding year, thousands of the advertising .folders have been mailed in addition to those given away locally In 1951, a large directive sign was placed on the Henry Gordon property at worden, in cooperation with Tulana Farms officials; During the three years that fol lowed, cattle In the adfacent fields damaged the sign and finally It was oiown aown by high winds. This vear a new sign waa erected. It was built by the Wilson broth ers, painted and lettered by Lefty Wild Eagle Wilder and was set up by local men at the same place the old sign had stood. As the field Is planted to grain now and there are no cattle in the vicinltv. chances are that the second well- anchored sign will be a permanent fixture at Worden. Entire cost of the advertising project, including folders, distribu tion expenses, signs, and miscel laneous expenses, is born by busi ness establishments of Fort Klam ath. Membership In the town Is 100 per cent and the annual cost per firm averages around 130. All labor is donated. Additional projects in which the association has participated since its inception in 1950, include con tributing to a full page of adver tising In the 1952 American Legion state convention program for the Klamath Falls meeting, the annual clearing of debris from Annie Creek in the valley for the pur pose of flood control, and sponsor ship for two years of the Fert Klamath community float in the annual Fourth of July Klamath Basin Roundup parade in Klamath Falls. Each firm contributes financially to the work of local flood control which Is carried out each year. The Fort Klamath community float has won high awards for the last three years. This year, 10.000 copies of the travel folder were ordered. During the winter and spring, many re quests came to the secretary ky mall from outside the state. In creased travel to the park by way of Fort Klamath Is proving that the concerted efforts of the business people In the community is paying off.
