mention elsewhere in this book.
At the close of this treatise it may be of interest
to mention some businesses which changing times have
largely eliminated from the American scene. The 1888
bulletin lists R. A. Jordan, Livery Stable, stating that he
had good stock and turnouts for his customers. The
old Bob Jordan livery stable, located on Bodenhamer
Street and somewhat remodeled, served as a place of
business for Cash Feed Store for forty years. Others,
such as Mr. John Linville and Mr. J. C. Ragland, at
times operated livery stables. In fact it was the fore-
runner of the automobile business as we know it today.
Another business mentioned in the 1888 bulletin was
Apple & Hunt, Milliners and Mantua Makers (whatever P. & N. 5 & 10 Dept. Stores, Inc. First of a small chain of stores in
