He is best known for his role in the development of Fort Worth, Texas, where he owned and published the Fort Worth Star-Telegram
newspaper. Amon Carter played a significant role in promoting aviation and the military in Fort Worth, including efforts during
World War II. He was a well-respected civic leader and philanthropist, contributing to numerous community projects and organizations,
leaving a lasting legacy in Fort Worth.
Amon G. Carter Sr. had a notable connection to belt buckles through his promotional efforts. He used belt buckles as a marketing
tool to promote his Fort Worth Star-Telegram newspaper and the city of Fort Worth. He distributed large, ornate belt buckles featuring
the newspaper's logo to politicians, celebrities, and military personnel. These distinctive belt buckles became iconic symbols of
Fort Worth and Amon Carter's influence in the community. Carter's use of belt buckles for promotion helped solidify their association
with Western culture and Fort Worth's identity.
