L. H. PERKINS
A general store was opened in 1877, by a man named Hasler, in Remien's building. He continued the business until 1879, when he sold to H.V. Smith. Mr. Smith had come from Shelby county for the purpose of going into business here, but not finding all his expectations realized, he sold out in the spring 1881, to L.H.Perkins, and removed again to his farm in Shelby county, and from there to Texas in the spring of 1883. Mr. Perkins has conducted the business since that time. His stock consists of dry goods, groceries and provisions, notions, etc.
