well, J. e. Littlefield and John E. Wal
ker, After three years the late Col
J, G. Wooten and w. B. Wooten bought
out the interests of Messrs Dale and
Littletield. Following a big fire that
originated i ma drug store adjoining,
Mr.. Maxwell also sold out his interest
to the Wootens. About ten years ago
the lato Col. J. G. Wooten retired,
selling his interest to his sons, John
I. and W, B. Wooten They have
since conducted the business Twice
the store has been entirely destroy
ed by fire, On neither occasion, how.
ever did 1t originate in the store. In
addition on several occasions fires
have damaged the stock, but to use
the time worn expression the house
has risen phoenix like" from the
ashes.
1t has been the unfaillng policy OF
this house, from its foundation to the
present hour, to give honest values in
merchandise for every dollar expend-
cd with it. From that rule It will
make no departure. ....
