Hathenbruck and George A. Richards) occuped the main area. By 1901 Hathenbruck and Co. had gone out of business and Robert R. Irvine and Sons occupied the building-until they moved into the" Academy Block (1902-1903). By 1903 Charles H. Wood had split with F. J. Booney (10 West Center) to form another dry goods store, Wood-Clifton Mercantile Co. (C. H. Wood president; W. R. butler, vicepresident?; L. A. Culbertson, secretary-treasurer) which occupied this building and #28. By 1911 Wood-Glifton had expanded to include #16 through #28. About 1926 Edwin Shriver bought this- building from Colonel Loose and opened a branch of W. F. Shriver and Sons, a company which had begun in Eureka. |
