Star for $20 than one for $35" But 33 months after the birth of the Star Carter induced the late Col Paul Waples to finance the purchase of the opposition Telegram The combined Star and Telegram which soon became the Star-Telegram took over the Telegram's plant at 8th and Throckmorton Streets the Star moving from its 23-by400 foot location at 6th and Commerce With the purchase Carter became business manager as well as advertising manager and 14 years later in 1923 succeeded Louis Wortham who had been president since the Star's beginning and was an equal partner Wortham also was the first editor Along with the 1923 change Carter also became publisher A year before Wortham's retirement Carter had joined with some temerity other owners of the Stan Telegram in authorizing the expenditure of $3013 for the establishment of a radio station WBAP which today along with WRAP-TV occupies handsome facilities in the east part of Fort Worth a far cry from the cramped quarters the radio station first occupied in the newpaper building The Star-Telegram only a short while before starting the radio venture had moved into its new building at 7th and Taylor FULL MEASURE GIVEN TO CIVIC UNDERTAKINGS About the time the Star-Telegram moved into its new building William Randolph Hearst entered the Fort Worth newspaper field with the purchase of the Fort Worth Record the only morning paper in the city In 1923 at the urging of a Hearst executive Carter made a hurried trip to California Upon his return he announced that he had purchased the Record This transaction on Nov 1 1923 led to the Star-Telegram entering the morning newspaper field giving readers around the clock nevs Along with his multitudinous duties with the newspaper Carter always found time to give full measure to many civic undertakings Among his earliest such under I Turn to Carter Death ea tare then was considered one of the largest advertising agencies on the West Coast When one of the San Francisco newspapers ran a map of the city a feature unique in those days but on which ace peared all of the principal buildings as well as the streets on which they were located Carter clipped the map and tucked it away in his belongings little dreaming what it would mean to him a few years later hundreds of miles from California Just as he had been lured to California by its opportunities so Carter returned to Texas for the same reason Ile learned that Fort Worth to which he had looked as "the city" when he lived in Bowie was booming because of the location here of the plants of Swift Company and Armour Company firmly establishing the community as the livestock capital of the Southwest Ile decided to east his lot with Fort Worth Since advertising had been his business in California Carter decided to continue it here his firm Texas Advertising and Manufacturing Company had for its principal objective the publication of an indexing telephone directory Carter owned the patent on it Another line was advertising cards in street cars Although he was his firmts only employe and despite the cramped quarters he occupied Carter decided he needed a typewriter if for no other reason than "just to make an impression" as he put it ALL ADVERTISING IN FIRST ISSUE SOLD BY CARTER When a typewriter salesman called on him Carter proudly told him of his patented phone directory and the salesman in turn impressed with the newness of such an idea let Carter in on a new venture he had just heard saturating of buffalo chips with crude oil pressing the mixture into bricks and selling them for fuel Impressed by the fuel idea Carter turned up at the stockyards just as a demonstration was being made of the chips-andoil idea Also there to watch the demonstration were a couple of young newspapermen ho had interested themselves with some others in the idea of starting publication of an afternoon newspaper in opposition to the then-existing Fort Worth Telegram Carter and the two budding publishers got together in conversa tion while watching the compressed fuel bricks burn and the upshot of it was that Carter sold the two Mc Caleb and A Dawson on his selling ability So when the Fort Worth Star was born Feb 1 1906 Carter was the advertising manager The first issue consisted of 1430 inches of advertising spread over 16 pages all of which was sold by Carter who not only was the advertising manager but was also the whole advertising sales staff Forty-three years later on Oct 30 1949 the Star-Telegram published its largest Centennial Edition in observance of Fort Worth's 100th birthday In that gigantic Issue of 480 pages Carter sold 37840 inches or 220 full-page ads SALARY WAS REDUCED AT ILLS OWN REQUEST About six weeks after the Fort Worth Star made its debut Carter was in a stock broker's offiee when over a leased wire came the first word of the dev astating San Francisco earthquake and fire Carter rushed to the Star with the information and ss ithin a few minutes the paper had an "extra" on the streets NV ith Carter selling them up one side and down the other of Main Street Crabbing another bundle he boarded an inter urban train and within an hour was selling Fort Worth Star "extras" on the streets of Dallas Thus the Star had scooped its Fort Worth competitor and a Dallas newspaper on one of the greatest stories of the time In between trips to the office for more papers Carter remembered the map of San Francisco Retrieving it from his files a cut was made resulting in readers of the final edition having a graphic description for those days of the scope of damage done since all public buildings which were either damaged or destroyed were marked on the map Before he entered the newspaper business Carter had acquired a diamond weighing 3 3132 carats In later years he told how the diamond had to be "hocked" several times to meet the Star's then meager payroll He also delighted in recalling i that the $33 a week salary he the story of his early struggles a story that made understandable the driving force he exerted in every undertaking with which he was associated The many honors that came his way were but the reflection of his untiring efforts for the causes in which he enlisted BOWIE BOARDING HOUSE JOB IN EARLIER DAYS Carter attended country school until he was 11 years old He was then thrown upon his own resources Deprived of a formal education he did much in later years to help provide educational facilities for others He took an early interest in the need for a great state school of higher learning in West Texas Personally and by the use of the columns of the Star-Telegram he campaigned for such an institution until Texas Technological College was built at Lubbock He served as Tech's first board chairman relinquishing that position in 1927 when he saw the college firmly established On May 27 1930 Tech conferred on him its first honorary degree doctor of laws Through the years Carter maintained a steadfast interest in Tech When the Lubbock school defeated Auburn in the 1954 'Gator Bowl game on New Year's Day he invited the coaches and team to be his guests en route home He enter-tamed them with a dinner and reception at Carter Field Ile also maintained a staunch stand in favor of Tech being admitted to membership in the Southwest Conference Carter's zeal for better educational facilities extended to the Fort Worth public school system Personally and through the Stark Telegrams Carter campaigned for the bond issues that resulted in the enlargement of the schools' plants In appreciation for his interest in public schools the Amon Carter Riverside High School was named for him Carter likewise took an active interest in the enlargement of Texas Christian University both in its school and athletic plants In appreciation TCU trustees named the football stadium for him One of Carter's earliest jobs was that of washing dishes and waiting on tables at Mrs Mollie Anion Giles Carter gave of his time money and the columns of the Star-Telegram to back the projects that made Fort Worth and West Texas grow and prosper during almost a half century In his widespread acquaint anceships with bankers statesmen industrialists government officials politicians royalty and just plain he was entertaining in Fort Worth New York Chicago or lost no opportunity to "sell" Fort Worth and the vast empire to the west A sign that hung over his desk for many years containing these words "Most everybody can get results when kindly encouraged but give me the man who can get there in spite of hell" appeared to sum up his busy fruitful life His philosophy concerning Fort Worth and West Texas was summed up in a talk he made at an appreciation dinner given him by members of the Fort Worth Club on March 9- 1939: "Let's keep faith with Fort Worth and West Texas and we will realize the things we have dreamed of for our section If we really believe in something the battle's half won" At the same dinner Harrell then mayor of Fort Worth declared "his (Carter's) personality is so entwined in the destiny of Fort Worth that his very name is synonymous with it" WISE COUNTY CABIN WAS HIS BIRTHPLACE On many occasions Carter said "A man can not live off of his community he must live with it" In 1950 when the Bowie Chamber of Commerce honored Carter in absentia (a previous' engagement prevented him from attending) Paul Donald chamber manager declared "He is one man who is bigger than he looks Amon Carter is the only man I have ever known who can live up to the most flowery introduction that anyone is capable of giving" A log house at Craton Wise County was his birthplace He was the son of William Henry and Josephine Carter The night be was born Dec 11 1879 was so cold the infant Carter and his mother were moved to a neighbor's farmhouse Carter was proud of his hardy heritage and delighted in telling Jarrett's boarding house in Bowie for $6 a month He amplified his earnings by carrying water to the largest general store in Bowie When fire destroyed the store young Carter asked and received permission to search the still-smoking ruins for anything of value remembering that a snuff manufacturer as an advertising feature had put a 5-cent rebate in each package Before other Bowie youngsters caught on Carter was $6 richer Carter took delight in recounting another of his early business ventures the selling of chickenand-bread sandwiches to passengers on Fort Worth Denver Railway trains that stopped in Bowie And when chicken wasn't to be had Carter substituted rabbit meat hoping that his customers wouldn't detect the difference at least until after the train had pulled out of Bowie PACKING PLANT BOOH LEADS TO FORT WORTH About 40 years later Carter sold a chicken-and-bread sandwich to a President of the United States when Franklin Roosevelt stopped in Bowie on one of his railroad jaunts over the nation Roosevelt who had heard the story of Carter's youthful enterprise paid him a dime for the sandwich and Carter pocketed the coin just as he had dropped 1 dimes into his homespun britches many years before Convinced late in the nineties that he had gone as far as he could in Bowie Carter emigrated to Indian Territory While casting about for a means of providing himself with a livelihood he heard of a scheme that was beginning to become very peddling of framed pietures the bright gilt of the frame overshadowing the deficiencies of the pictures The head of one of these itinerant crews offered Carter a job as a picture salesman and Carter grabbed the offer In this venture I he first demonstrated his ability as a salesman for it wasn't too I long before he was earning $300 a week In fact he was making so much that the firm made him 1 sales manager California with its newness of opportunity beckoned and Carter answered the call Arriving in San Francisco which then was a thriving metropolis Carter oh tamed
