In accepting his award, Landrum promised the audience that the chamber would provide action and not more talk. He said efforts would be concentrated on retail promotions, city beautif ication projects and "To accomplish that goal you have to sell your community," he said. "Aggressive sales will help you gain an advantage over your competitors and the best sales force around is your chamber of commerce." Although the county can receive help from federal and state sources to meet institution has grown to a facility with several locations and $84 million in assets today. Coghill was instrumental in helping Farmington obtain what is now Farmington Manufacturing Co.

and Trimfoot Co. It was the plan that landed Trimfoot Co. that best illustrates the creativity that Coghill brought to Farmington. Coghill brought in community involvement which helped obtain the site for the company. "We got hold of this tract of ground and made a subdivision out of it and sold the lots at a nice profit to bring them in," Coghill recalled.

Coghill was a part of the effort that established Farmington Community Hospital in 1969. He was a member of' the original board of directors for that -faculty and the first to commit funds to the new hospital "I think probably the most outstanding change we have made is the pgoress in the health field," he said. Although retired from active status as an officer at the savings and loan, Coghill is still on the board of directors and several committees. He is complementary of the area's professional government and private leaders.

"Farmington is more tradition and than a city of Landrum said, "We are a city of a tradition of progress. In 1980 we will seek not to erase what we have done, but to polish it" Among his advice, Kirkpatrick suggested that civic leaders lend an ear to the young people of the community.

"That's the best resource you have in a community," he said. "You better pay attention to what they say. It makes sense." Farmington leaders need to "sell" the community and its advantages to prospective industries Kirkpatrick advised. He also pointed out the state has advantages including the lowest tax burden for any state that would attract new industry. Climate is a special advantage for St Francois County, Kirkpatrick said.

He said the winters are among the most moderate in the state. A road system that connects the county with other vital market areas is another advantage pointed out by the secretary of state. He added that several public facilities for health, education and recreation are readily accessible in the county. "I know these things about your area, and I'm not an expert or a resident" Kirkpatrick said. "Yet I can see the Farmington area has plenty to offer.

"I am almost speechless because I never expected any such honor," Coghill said while accepting the award. "If we had to do it over we'd come back and start in Farmington." "One cannot appreciate Lacy Coghill and the impact he had on this town unless you know the city as it was," Landrum said. He said Farmington had no industry, no clinics, no hospitals and the town's economy was tied to agriculture.

"Into this scene came a exceptional man," Landrum said. "He is a rare combination of a doer and. an envisioner." "I was in a small bank and I wanted to make a change," Coghill recalled for The Daily Journal of his reasons for moving to Farmington from Caledonia in 1922. "I became later interested in possibly starting a savings and loan." Using $300 borrowed from his mother, and with the help of his brother, W.T. Coghill, he formed the Missouri Ozarks Savings and Loan in 1930.

While struggling through the depression, Coghill obtained a more secure federal charter in 1934 and renamed the institution Ozarks Federal Savings and Loan Association.
