Description

Series of photos from Vice President John Nance Garner and Ettie Garner's visit to Fort Worth for the Frontier Centennial. Pictured from left, seated at a table at Casa Manana, is Senator Tom Connally of Marlin, Texas, Senator Sherman Minton of Indiana, John Nance Garner, Amon G. Carter (host of Garner's), and Senator Morris Sheppard of Texarkana, Texas. The clipping reads "The Vice President of the United States came, saw, and was pleased with the Fort Worth Frontier Centennial last night. His first stop was at the Will Rogers Memorial Room where he and Mrs. Garner browsed over the things among which their friend made his home. This photo shows him at his flower-banked Casa Manana table where he joined in the resounding applause that greeted the gigantic and spectacular revue."
