Get ready to purchase the world famous Girl Scout Cookies Who could resist a few dollar purchase from one of the adorable future female leaders of America? Due to requirements of the program, they scheduled trips to the chamber of commerce/economic development office and the local bank in Howe
While at the EDC office, they were given a history lesson of the building at 101 E Haning St which was constructed in 1884 by Samuel Wilkerson Young and operated as S W young General Store Howe's Economic Development Director informed them of the history of the Interurban Railway that once traveled beside the building until it was moved to the alley east of the current City Hall and Don's Smokehouse in the 1940s Walker also informed the young entrepreneurs of the importance of a business plan and marketing strategy in order to have a successful cookie campaign
The local girl scouts were very excited about the opportunities for the city to grow, but were very adamant that they want Howe to remain a small town The theme of the questioning from the girls centered on how the City of Howe could grow a little but not grow too much
The young ladies also were given an inspiring message about the late Howe beautification icon, Mame Roberts, who once rallied the township to national recognition by having Howe labeled the "Prettiest Little Town in Texas" in 1940
