In the year 1897 Dr. W.L. Miller mvoed his drug store from Santa Fe street, located near thwer Lollar's Feed Store is now to the building now occupied by Harry Osage and operated there for a short time as a retail Drugh Store when he formed a partnership with O.C. Bowers, who came from Wynnewood and went into the wholesale and retail drug business. O.C. Bowers was the traveling salesman for the wholesale department and Dr. Miller had charge of the Retail store. Among those employed as sales force were Lew Dorrance, who came from Lexington and was one of the first graduates of Oklahoma University in the same class with Marion Donahue, also S.E. Bowers and C.E. Miller who now owns a drug store at Frances, Okla. and Joe Raines who came from Elmore City and accepted aposition in the wholesale department. The Miller-Bower's Drug company sold out to Dr. Berry and went to Oklahoma City and opened up a wholesale drug company known as Oklahoma Drug company. Later Dr. Berry sold to Kennedy and Baker. Mr. Raines stayed with this firm for two years and then accepted a position with C.P. Bruce, the "Live Druggist". This drug store was located where the R oyal theater is at present. In the winter of 1899 which was the coldest winter we had had for many years, the thermometer stood at 16 degrees below zero one Friday and old settlers called it the cold Friday. At that time there were no concrete sidewalks in Pauls Valley. All the walks we had were board walks. In the spring Dr. Miller formed a partnership with Dr. Wynn and they opened a hospital over the drug store, this being Pauls Valley's first hosptial. C.P. Bruce moved his drug store in 1901 where the First National bank now stands. This was a frame building and the clerks employed were U.S. Allendar, Glen Williams and Joe Raines. Mr. Raines is the only one of the firm now living. Mr. Bruce later built the building wher Willy's Variety store now is and moved there and the First National Bank building was built. In 1904 C.P. Bruce was elected mayor of Pauls Valley. In 1895 E.O. Hightower was proprietor of a men's clothing store in the Reavis Drug building and in 1897 when Mrs. Hightower came as a bride here, their first home was on the Santa Fe street facing the railroad on the lot south of Mrs. George McRee's. Dr. and Mrs. Burks were then their neighbors and lived where Rev. Grimm lives now. The Moman Pruitt family lived north of the Hightowers. Mr. Hightower later built a home on Ash street. Mr. Hightower was elected mayor in 1908 and the city hall building was built while he was mayor. Another family that has seen Pauls Valley grow are Mr. and Mrs. C.A. bradley. Mrs. Bradley came here when she was fourteen years of age with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. M.Cecile, from Arkansas. She attended school in the small frame building which stood on the funeral home lot and Mr. Bradley came the same year from Virginia to work in the store for his brother, who owned the second store in Pauls Valley, known as Smith Bradley and company. Mrs. Bradley then Miss Armena Cecile, Mrs. Bob Braden, then Miss Manning, Mrs. C. Prater, who was then Miss Katilina Klinglesmith were all young ladies here together and have been friends ever since and Miss Klinglesmith was the first milliner in the city in the C.J. Grant store and Mr. Prater was the shoe man in the same store. Mrsss. Jim Rennie was the director of plays i the city with the young people taking part. Miss Tamsy Hull later Mrs. Clayton, Miss Constant and Miss Cecil were others taking parts. Well do old timers remember the time when Carrie Nation spoke in the Methodist church. She brought a colored man with her and seated him on the platform with her and Mr. C.A. Sanders, now of Lindsay who was the usher went up to ask him to another seat in the rear. Many left the church before she spoke.
