C.E. Carruth Bi-Centennial Building
In recognition of loyal and unselfish service to the community of Andrews over a period of 47 years.
This building will henceforth be known as the C.E. Carruth Bi-Centennial Building
As a key member of the American Revolution Bi-centennial Commission in Andrews, C.E. Carruth supervised every facet of the planning, construction and financing of this building. His superb skill in coaxing public and private monies and donations and volunteer labor enabled the commission to deliver this structure debt free to the Andrews County Chamber of Commerce July 4, 1976. To that end, this building represents the devotion, dedication and willingness of a true Andrews Volunteer.
