Glenda and Stan, owners of Eaton-Craig Stationery and Office Supplies in Plainview, are sweet friends. I have worked with them on many projects through the years.
I was in their store (yes, they are still open), and they shared these great vintage finds in their Plainview collection.
Once located at 618 Broadway Street, and I love the simple phone number 371.
Look at this onion paper. It was hard to print on, but such pretty paper! Look closely at the names.
CA 4-4375, before 293 and 296 and way before 291, and the plethora of prefixes, we have now! Eaton's number today is 806.293.4353!
This was a gift for the grand opening when they moved from downtown to a much larger location. Who remembers the Wilson Jones Co. being here?
Do you recognize any of these names? Our Interstate 27 is named for one, the Marshall Formby Memorial Highway. From Lubbock to Amarillo, I-27 was officially designated the Marshall Formby Memorial Highway after former attorney and Texas State Senator Marshall Formby in 2005.
