These are three brochures promoting tourism in the Lake Taneycomo area in the Missouri Ozarks, published by the White River Booster League at Branson in Taney County, Missouri.

 

The White River Booster League was an association of businesses devoted to the economic development of what it called “Your Year ‘round Vacation Land” and the “Magic Circle of Fun” in the Lake Taneycomo area of Taney and Stone counties in southwestern Missouri.  Each bro­chure includes a map, and listings for ac­commodations, restaurants, and tourist attractions in and near the communities of Branson, For­syth, Rockaway Beach, and Hollister.

 

The brochures are undated, but the earliest brochure shows Bull Shoals Dam and Lake “un­der construction,” which would indicate the late 1940s.  The later brochures show Bull Shoals Dam and Lake completed, and in the last brochure some of the resort listings indicate that televi­sion is available, so it is likely from the mid-1950s.
