Text at the bottom: THE WRANGLER, HIGHEST HONOR FOR WESTERNS The Western Heritage Awards May 3rd will take place in the Great Hall of the National Cowboy Hall of Fame, among the magnificent Russell paintings, the great art and historic treasures of this unique heritage center. The Wrangler Award, itself a replica of Charles Russell's sculpture, symbolizes excellence in Western enter-tainment. Wranglers will go to creations that best portray the high principles, spirit, and individual achievements of the developing west, in line with the objectives of this institution honoring America's great pioneers. The producing organization and leading creators of each category winner will receive Wranglers. The Board of Trustees may also award Wranglers to organizations or individuals who have made outstanding contributions to our Westem heritage over a period of years, or whose contributions lie outside established categories. PURPOSE The National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Center perpetuates Western traditions in exhibits of high artistic quality and authenticity. Believing that the Center should have an influence beyond that of the exhibit hall, the Board of Trustees began the Western Heritage Awards program in 1960 to encourage others to tell the great stories of the West. The developing West is one of history's most exciting eras — a period when people from all nationalities, all walks of life sought a new life on the frontier. Although the U.S. Census proclaimed 1890 as the end of the frontier, it has no boundaries in the hearts of people the world over. The Wrangler winners listed here were recognized for their outstanding contributions to the understanding of that epoch.THROUGH THE COURTESY OF PRINTING TIMES-JOURNAL PUBLISHING CO. - COLOR SEPARATIONS COLOR-TEC - DESIGN JEANIE RUEDY COMMERCIAL ART/DESIGN - PHOTOGRAPHY DICK COBB PHOTOGRAPHY, INC. - PAPER CAPITAL PAPER COMPANY AND CARPENTER PAPER COMPANY The back of the poster provides more background info on the Western Heritage Awards and lists the HALL OF FAME OF GREAT WESTERN PERFORMERS: Amanda Blake, Barbara Stanwyck, Walter Brennan, Joel McCrea, Gene Autry, Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Tim McCoy, and the late Gary Cooper, Tom Mix, Buck Jones, and Robert Taylor.
