Title
Work Contract awarded to Texas business
Description
There were no shortages of contracts and business opportunities during the construction and operation of Camp Howze. This news clipping is just one example of a contract awarded to a Texas business, which was a much needed boost to the Texas economy that was recovering from the great depression. Many of the businesses that were awarded these contracts sought to use local labor, which gave Gainesville residents job opportunities and financial support.
