Early businesses which were moved from Old Cartwright to the present site were T. S. Meanarey's store, the post office and A. L. Johnson's store. As you can imagine, things were a little cheaper back then. Just imagine! You could buy a hat, shoes and shirt for $6.70 at the J. G. Struthers & Co. Cash Store while Hunter and Moore's Store advertised --- "A comfortable home for your poor feet, in our wide toed shoes". "Ladies strap slipper $1.55, Dongola Oxford 75 cents.
By looking at the picture of Elijah Owen's store you can still see products that are sold today, Bee Hive Corn Syrup as one example.
