Gillette, Wyoming: The News-Record, 1935. “The purpose of this folder is to acquaint the tourist or the potential settler with Gillette and Campbell county – in the heart of the real West. It has been the aim to convey to him some of the appeal and romance of this vast area, as well as to acquaint him with the farming, ranching and other business opportunities which the community offers. The preparation of this folder has been sponsored by the Gillette Lions Club, which is in reality, Gillette’s Chamber of Commerce.”
