Olden Days of West Revived;
Exchange Ave Conies to Life
Fort Worth’s Exchange Avenue
has come to life.
Any old cowhand knows what
that means. It means boot heels
and loud shirts, filled cafes and
crowded sidewalks, for Exchange
Avenue on Fort Worth’s North
Side is part and parcel of the
Stock Show, which opened Friday
March 13, for a 10 day run.
Fifty weeks of the year Ex
change Avenue is quiet. An oc
casional load of cattle headed for
the packing house rumbles down
its rough bricks, but for the most
part it is still.
Then something happens. The
short little old street begins to
stir. Uncle Andy Davis, the horn
man, polishes his neckerchief
slides and horns. He’s been doing
that at his sidewalk post on Ex
change Avenue since 1896, the
year of the first Stock Show.
The Maverick and Longhorn
cafes and the Exchange Avenue
hotels have begun to fill, where
a week ago there were few cus
tomers. Cowboys and rodeo fol
lowers from all over the country
sit in lobbies or lean against store
fronts and talk cattle and rodeo
in good solid Western drawls.
Everywhere there’s hustle and
hurry.
Yes sir, Exchange Avenue has
come to life. The Stock Show’s
open. It’s just saying the same
thing in two different ways.
It’s the same shirt —Arrow’s Doubler
TTERE’S a shirt that knows how to relax!
■ L_L It’s convertible—you can wear it all day
with a tie and it’s perfectly smart; take the tie
off when you get home and you can have a
handsome, expensive-looking sport shirt!
Arrow Doubler comes in a variety of fine fabrics
labeled Sanforized (shrinkage less than 1%),
has two pockets and has Arrow’s famed
“Mitoga” figure-fit. Get Doubler today!
