About Amon G. Carter
Fort Worth was a sleepy little town, so quiet that its downtown was said to have once been home to a slumbering panther, destined to be little more than a sidekick to the bigger Dallas to the east. Then Amon G. Carter came to town.
He was barely a man in 1906, but young Mr. Carter had already impressed executives in San Francisco and Chicago as an advertising whiz kid, capable of recognizing a great product and knowing how to sell it. Boy, were they right.
Mr. Carter’s promotional zeal brought to Fort Worth and its surrounding communities such industries now known as American Airlines, Lockheed-Martin, the General Motors assembly plant in Arlington and Bell Helicopter. Thousands of North Texans have jobs today because Mr. Carter put on a Shady Oaks Stetson, wore cowboy boots, and hung a cigar from his mouth to drive home the point that Fort Worth was truly Where the West Begins … and big dreams are realized.
