These are 13 items published by the West Plains Chamber of Commerce to promote the city of West Plains in Howell County, Missouri, and the surrounding area.  Included are tourism bro­chures, promotional brochures, and a booklet describing automobile excursions to area resorts and attractions.

 

West Plains is the seat of Howell County, and is the largest city in its area.  With a dairy-based agricultural economy, the city boasted the fourth-largest livestock market in Mis­souri.  Pic­tured in one brochure was the “recently organized,” but destined to be short-lived, Moark Baptist College.  Some brochures included highway maps of the area and illustrations of im­portant busi­nesses, public facilities, and nearby recreational sites.
