The object was to get together all who were inter­ ested in collecting Covers of the West, to exchange ideas and information and to publish the Western Express Quarterly. Many of our members work to seek out and preserve historic relics, maps, pictures, diaries and letters; collect and ex­ change western history books, cooperate with museums, libraries and historical societies and assist students, writers and educators. Wherever there is a group of members, they should call a meeting to talk, swap and exhibit covers and to boost the hobby.
