"D. S. Custer does an extensive business in dry-goods, groceries, furniture and a general line of goods, and is most energetic and preserving. Here the telephone exchange is located and a short visit to the place will convince any person that the business done over the lines here is a large one." The Republican (January 26, 1904)
