The Editor
Alto Herald
Alto, Texas
Dear Sir:
Recentiy the Dallas Morning
News ran a series of articles
written by Ted Dealy recaiiing
the eariy days of the City of
Daiias. His articles created quite
a sensation especially with the
older residents of that city.
It occurred to me that a simitar
idea could be done for Alto and
perhaps many nostaigic recol-
lections wouid be recalied by
those of us who could remember
back approximated fifty (50)
years or more. I was born and
reared in Aito and attended
school there and finally left
home to go to coilege in 1928.
My memory goes back to ap-
proximately fifty (50) years ago
and these are some of the things
that I remember as a boy grow-
ing up in the town of Aito:
I remember the old Mandel-
stam Store located about where
the Enco Service Station is now
situated. The glass show win-
dows of this old store held many
exciting items to be iooked at by
all of the kids in town. I remem-
ber that one of the Mandeistam
boys was crippied but always
seemed to be happy when the
kids came in the store for any
purpose whatsoever; as I recali
his name was Herman.
I remember the oid calaboose
that was situated just at the rear
of Mandeistam Store with its
thick door and iron barred win-
dows. It was not uncommon for
the faces of prisoners in the cal-
aboose to be peering out and thi
faces of the kinds peering in.
but most of us were a littie timid
about getting too close to the
caiaboose door or windows. It
held drunks and other prisoners
for short periods of time and
then, I suppose, they were trans-
fcred to Rusk to stronger jaits.
I remember the Corner Drug
Store that was situated directly
across the street West and on
the North side from the present
Enco Service Station. It was an
oasis for thirsty kids and the
soda jerk there always furnished
us with a glass of cold
water upon request. The first
nickeioden that I ever saw in my
life was in the Corner Drug
Store and consisted of a square
box in which a violen was
mounted and played by little
automatic wheels on the strings
when we had the nickels to drop
in;
I remember the old Harrison
Drug Store a few doors West
with its tremendously appealing
and magica! candy case con-
taining a!) kinds of candies for
the kids. Many of us wouid just
go and look at the delicious
iooking candy but couid oniy
buy a few pennies worth now
and then. I remember Mr. Sam
Harrison who ran the drug store.
I particularly remember the
odors of the drugs as prescrip-
tions were be'ng filled. This was
nn enchanting store and one that
aii the kids iiked to visit;
Further on up the street I re-
member the barber shop and
some of the barbers were Biit
Wiiiiams, Jesse Tayior, Bud Po-
well and others that I can't re-
cali. The barber shop had a bath
tub in a back room and it was
always in use on Saturday nights.
As a kid. I just couldn't under-
stand why people wouid take a
bath at the barber shop. Satur-
days were busy days at the bar-
ber shop and a series of num-
bers were put on a nail at the
door and as each customer came
in he would pick a number and
wouid be cailed in order for his
barber work;
I remember the old Berryman
and Watters Store on Busy Bee
Street and some of the men who
worked there were Emory Wat-
ters, Henry Berryman, John
Hoicomb. Lee Whitman, and
others whose names I can't now
recall. Berryman and Watters
was a general merchandise type
store and had a feed store in
connection and as kids it was
great fun for us to travel over
the entire storrs to see what was
being sold:
My father, Ben McLendon.
owned and operated the Aito
Saddiery Company which was
next door to Berryman and Wat-
ters. He made harness and sad-
dies and I am told that there j
might still be in existence a-
round Aito some of the old sad-
dies he made. I wouid like to
see one of them. With the advent
of automobiles, my father went
out of the harness business and
into the automobiie business,
selling Overiands and Wiilys-
Knights. Mr. E. I. Leake, from
Rusk, Texas, iived in the back
of our store and repaired shoes.
I have sat by the hour listening
to him spin taies of the oid times.
He was great to entertain aii the
kids who wouid listen to him
spin his yarns, as he worked.
He always kept a big chew of
tobacco in his jaw and punctuat-
ed the exciting experiences with
shots at a spittoon near his feet.
Mr. Leake was a wonderfui man
and had a fine famiiy and his
daughter, Miss Robbie Leake,
stiii lives at Rusk and has re-
tired after teaching in the pub-
lic schools there for many years;
I remember the oid Majestic
Theater and the exciting pic-
tures we used to see in the siient
fiim days. One of my summer
jobs as a kid was to "hoiier"
for the theater and I wouid b#
furnished with the names of the
actors and the names of the
pictures and by use of a mega-
phone wouid go aii over town
"hoilering" out the exciting fiim
for that evening. I never did
know whether or not I enthused
anyone to attend on account of
my description of the current
biii. I remember when the
theater burned and what a ioss
it was to the community. If I
am not mistaken the tumbied
down buiiding where the theater
was located can stiii be seen
and the fancy art work that was
around the waits;
I remember the otd ice ptant
that was tocated right back of
the theater and the interesting
machinery cmptoyed there for
making ice and electricity-
Many of the kids in town liked
to hang around the ice piant and
eat bits of ice during the hot
summers;
t remember the wagon yard
on Busy Bee Street at the back
of the main stores and it was not
uncommon for a team of horses
to run away with a wagon al-
most every Saturday afternoon
and what excitement it caused;
I remember Dr. J. C. Hiil's
dentist office upstairs on the
main street and how with great
retuctance I climbed those
stairs as a boy to endure that
terribie dritt. Dr. Hit] was a fine
dentist but he didn't have the
advantage of alt the techniques
modern day dentists use.
I remember the City Marshal
back in those days, Jim Netson,
and how he struck terror to all
of the kids who got out of tine
in any way. We were aii on our
best behavior when Jim Netson
was around;
I remember with great delight,
the cafe that was run by Elbert
Watters and Emma Watters,
and the delicious chiti that was
served daiiy. I can recali that
was one of the great treats I had
as a growing boy to eat a bow]
of chiti at Watter's Cafe;
I recall the cotton yard on the
lot where the post office now
stands and how much fun we
had as kids running aiong the
tops of the cotton bates and oc-
casionally we would tumble
them over at the risk of being
trapped under them;
I remember the crate factory
which was run by Mr. Garrett
Hoicomb, across the tracks, and
how he was kind enough to give
me a job one summer, the first
job I ever had out of my family,
and I recall I worked atong side
his son, J. C. Hoicomb. now a
barber at Rusk, and I am afraid
that we played more than we
worked but apparently Mr. Hot-
comb understood boys and hand-
ted us in the very best way. Mr.
Garrett Hotcomb and his good
wife. Minnie, were two of the
dearest peopie I have ever
known and I have spent many
happy hours in their home;
I remember the traveling tent
shows that frequently came to
Atto and set up on the cotton
yard. I think the name of one
of them was Kett's Te^* Show.
These were exciting ti" i for att
the kids and gro-"- "-<s alike.
Every show had its own red
headed comedian and reat tive
actors on the stage. On occasion
these tent shows wouid use Hie
kids in town for some sort of
a spectacte and as a consequents
aii the mothers and fathers had
to come to sec the show;
I rcatt Mr. Sam Dorsey's
Store who also had a candy case
I especiatty recatt his kindness to
alt the kids who came in the
store and whether we had the
money or not we usuatly left with

Aito Fire Department
News For This Week
Atto firemen answered a pre-
dawn cait to the Buster Buck-
ingham residence Friday morn-
ing, January 28th. The fire was
noticed by someone some dis-
tance away who reported "a
house fire near Emery Martins."
On arrivai, firemen found the
entire house invoived in fiames.
Firemen fought for sometime
trying in vain to save chests of
clothes in two bedrooms. The
new fire department tanker
came in handy, and made two
trips carrying extra water to
the fire. In ait firemen pumped
some 2,500 gallons of water, and
worked two hours trying to con-
tain the fire. Their efforts were
hampered by a North wind and
light rain.
Harvey Lee Wainwright, a^
serviceman on leave and re-
portedty staying at the Buck-
ingham residence rushed to town
in his car to report the fire. In
an attempt to tur.i in at the Pre-
mier Station to report the fire,
he struck the rear end of a
parked traiier truck, causing ex-
tensive damage to his car,
btowouts on the truck traiter,
and injuring himself.
Buster Buckingham stated that
his wife awoke and discovered
a roaring fire in the kitchen. He
aiso told firemen that when she
woke him. he thought she was
joking, "but when she started
gathering up children, I knew
something was the matter." The
iamity all escaped safeiy, but
with no time to spare. AH that
they saved were the clothes they
were wearing.
This fire ended firemen's
hopes for a January free of
fires. It was the first fire since
the middie of December.
