Henderson's Super Market Celebrates Anniversary,
21 Years In Business Since Opening In July, 1951
Henderson's will celebrate their
21st Anniversary this week. It was
in early 1951 that Joe Henderson
bought the fixtures of an A&P
store located at that time in the
Masonic building where the John
Jumey garage is presently loca-
ted. The store was modernized and
stayed in this location 11 years
moving to the present building in
1962. The store started out with
4000 square feet of sales area.
The move in 1962 to the new store
increased this to 10,000 square
feet of sales area. This was en-
larged in 1969 with the addition of
a modern Deli and new cold stor-
age food department. Sales area
is now better than four times the
original store opened in 1951.
Many changes have taken place
in the grocery business during
these 21 years. Hundreds of new
items are on the shelves of pres-
ent day stores. In 1951 we had 6
feet of frozen food cases handling
mostly vanilla ice-cream and fro-
zen orange juice. The present
store has 6k feet of frozen cases
for the hundreds of items that are
bought regularly by the modern
housewife.
Henderson’s has always featur-
r 1 its own home killed beef, and
it’s a fact that regardless of the
high price of beef, you will find
our beef is still cheaper than the
poorer grades of nearby chain
stores. Our beef is bought locally,
killed in our own Locker Plant
under State inspectors, therefore
we eliminate the so called middle
man, says Cecil Campbell, mark-
et manager.
Joe Henderson says he is proud
of the personnel of the store, there
has been- very few changes. Mr.
Guy Jones started as manager ip
1951, and is now semi-retired,
working pail time. Cecil Campbell
began with the group in 1951 as
market manager and is still mark-
et manager and assistant store-
manager under Joe Henderson.
Other long time employees are
Guy McPherson produce manager;
Jacky Boatright, assistant mar-
ket manager; Bob Bradley', gro-
cery department manager. Four
cheek out stands are handled by
Mrs. Grade Maikell, who also ser-
ves as cashier; Mrs. Evie Nixon,
Mrs. Marjorie Bone, Mrs. Bernice
Bradley and Mrs. Sadie Ethetton.
, The delicatessen is staffed by Mrs.
Juanita Gilbreath, manager; Mrs.
i Tina Deisher, Mrs. Wilma Gil-
] breath and Mrs. Tommie Malone.
I Mrs. Jovcelyn Hatley spends part
of her time as store bookkeeper
and secretary for Henderson's.
Assisting in the marked is Mrs.
Clara Hickey and John Hafford.
Other employees, some part time,
are Bob Walker, Phil Maikell,
Clayton Barbee, Thomas Palmer,
Mike Hall, Mrs. Mildred Camp-
bell and Mrs. Elizabeth Jones.
The present Henderson's store
building has belonged to Dr. Joe
, J. Pate, who bought the building
in the late 50’s and renovated it
i for the Henderson store in 1962.
The building was bought by Hen-
derson’s in early 1972, after com-
pletion of a 10 year lease with Dr.

Zero Locker Plant
Processes For Sale
Club Beef, Swine
Zero l ocker Storage brought 30
head of club calves and animals
here to be processed for various
customers, from Erath County Li-
vestock Show and Sale held Mon-
day, March 20. Beef, hogs and
sheep wore included among the
animals brought here for local
processing, some of which will be
sold through Henderson’s Super1
Market.
The locker plant undergoes com-
plete, regular inspection by both
state and federal inspectors whose
standards are so rigid tnat a num-
ber of plants had to close down.
The Zero Locker Plant continues
to meet these standards and has
continued to handle more volume
each year, since it has been taken
over by Hendersons. More money
is continually being spent to im-
prove facilities at Zero Locker
Storage, which is, one of the more
modern plants in this area now.
