Anil Sin “BrnttHin”
Gets His Windows
“Nothing’s too good far bur customers” is lettered across a 30doot expanse of rough glass which is being USed in place of the regular platd glass1 at the Carl Graham taint and Wallpaper Company at Broadway and Douglas.
The sign explains that the clear plate glass has been removed to provide for Garvin Cox of IRlose Thill, a returned veteran, whose grocery store opening was being delayed by the current glass shortage. Recalling that “to give the shirt off one’s back” is the true test of friendship, officials of the company decided to give the plate glass out of its display window to help a customer.—“Usual and Unusual” ito Wichita Eagle.

WICHITA COMES OUt TO FILL LARDERS
Our store keepers hardly knew on Saturday whether it was Rose Hill or Wichita lined up at the meat coulters. Would say it was Wichita and other states as cars from Washington and Colorado were seen, ‘
Parking space was at a premium but" many went away happy with a piece of meat.

Fire At Cox Grocery
The fire department was alert oh the fire at the Cox Grocery Friday morning. The fire started in a small building at the rear of the store. The building was used as a storage room and the fire was getting a good start when the wagons got there but was soon under control. Derby and Andover trucks also made the run. With the wind as strong as it was it could have been very disastrous and again we say— we are glad we have our fire trucks and qualified men to handle them.

Woody Quick Buys Brownie Cox Store
•• •
Mr. and Mrs. Woody Quick of Wichita announce the purchase of Brownie Cox’s Thriftway Store at Rose Hill and have taken charge. It will be a Red Bud store. ' 5 |
Mr. and Mrs. Quick and their children, Dana Rachell and Daniel Kevin, plan to move to Rose Hill soon. Brownie’s plans are unknown. __ir'iSlBfcr .1
Douglass Tribune’ November 1964
Woody Quick Improves Service
Woody Quick, owner of Woody’s Red Bud in Rose Hill, j is very happy he decided toi come to the community to establish his business. This was an opinion he expressed recently when the Tribune visited his store, : ■ ~ .
Woody claims that the people of Rose Hill never' cease to amaze him with their attitudes and integrity, and this alone would make the business venture profitable.
Woody intends to make his home in the -community as soon as possible, bringing with him his wife, Bonnie, and children, Dana Rachell and Daniel Kevin.
Since purchasing the store in November, Woody has improved and re-worked the locker and slaughtering facilities there. He reports that the work has been completed, and that the State has passed it under their quality control requirements. Slaughtering is now being done in the plant every day.
Mr. Quick is not new to the grocery business, having had 24 years experience in the retail field within Wichita and the surrounding trade area. When he was asked why he chose the difficult grocery trade as an occupation, he replied, “Since I began working at it at age 11, I have never done anything else.”1
Woody’s store operates thru the Red Bud policy of independent home-owned, home-operated: food centers. ,
