description: A stone building named "Yeager Block" on the corner of NE 1st
 Avenue and NE 1st Street is shown here. (NE 1st is the street shown in the
 picture. Dr. Yeager lived two blocks east--up that street--of the
 drugstore).  Once home of (what was known to some as)"The Lion Drugstore", it
 had a metal statue of a lion mounted on its roof.  The statue of the lion was
 removed but not the exact date of its removal is not sure.  It is not visible
 in a photo dated 1925 of the West Texas Chamber of Commerce
 Convention.
     At the time of this photograph, (a handwritten note on the
 back of the photograph gives the date as 1993), it was housing the Baker
 Medical Supply Company at the time.  A retail store in the left of the
 photograph is named "The Rural Route."
