Here’s another business district view in Liberal probably in the early 20’s, to note the model cars which abounded on the streets. It’s the corner of Second and Kansas and where you note Star Grocery, Evans Hardware, Scandrett & Fuest Hardware, Smith Bros. Drug and across the street, the George Store and unreadable store fronts. Today you can note in the named order, Mullins Furniture, Arganbright’s, Alene’s Cafe, Southwest Photo, Independent Hardware, Smith Drug, Wood’s Grisier’s, etc. Smith’s is the only one that remains under the original name.

Miscellaneous Info.:
Cutline for book: This was in the 1920’s. Star grocery in immediate foreground, then Evans Harness Co., Scandrett and Fuest Hardware and Smith’s Drug, in that order. John George’s grocery store is in the background. No paving, no traffic lights, center-street parking. The old town has a long ways to go.
