Reid Carpenter
Today is the birthday anniversary of Reid Carpenter, president of the citizens National bank, who was born in this city June 6, 1853. Mr. Carpenter has been for many years an active factor in the business life of Mansfield and is largely interested in several of the city's large manufacturing concerns. Outside of Mansfield and over many states he is probably best known as senior member of the firm of Carpenter & Ross, with a stock farm just southeast of Mansfield, whose annual sale of shorthorn cattle attract buyers from all over the country and whose herd has taken prizes at all of the big stock shows from coast to coast.
