A RARE LITTLE CLOTHING CATALOGUE

"Judging by the  catalog cover the Bings' had "Continental aspirations".  Were they bought out by Montgomery Wards, or perhaps Sears & Roebuck? They were starting to blossom at this time."

Carbine commented on Gay Mathis's blog post Harry Carey Jr. dies at 91--Western Character Actor
"As a character actor he played some memorable roles next to some big name actors. "Dobe" maybe gone but his star will always shiine for who he was and what he did."

Carbine replied to David Flores's discussion October 26, 1881. In Tombstone, Arizona, USA. Shoot out at the OK Coral.
"Well put Anthony. Without getting into the mechancis of the drama I concur with you. After all the dust and gunsmoke had settled George Parsons was probably one of only a handful of people left in Tombstone who openly supported the…"

Carbine commented on Morgan's blog post Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever died

Town Names

How did your town get it's name? We know how and why Tombstone got it's name. But what about your town?

Take for instance Dodge City,Independence,Wichita and Fort Worth for example. Or Big Creek,Pinedale and Long Valley.

I live in Ontario California. It was founded by the Chaffey Brothers in the late 1880's. They were originally from Ontario Canada. Nearby is the city of San Bernardino. It is named for an Italian Saint. The Mormons setteled here in 1851.

You are welcome. have you been to the Marty Robbins museum in Wilcox? I know the lady that runs it. She is the biggest Marty Robbins fan in the world. lol I never met Marty but I have met many of his high school classmates. I even know a fella who sings just like Marty and if you were to close your eyes you'd sear Marty with with us once again.

btw...are you going to Calico Days and the Harvest Fair in San Berdoo?
At 10:36am on September 13, 2009, Odessa Red said…
I work for the city of Berdoo...so I'll be at the HF the 2nd weekend...volunteering, but I told them...nothing stationary, I have to be able to move around or I'd just go as a period dressed participant and not volunteer lol...so not sure what they're going to have me do. I'll be doing my yearly trip to Zion Nat Park the first weekend. Calico Days should be a blast..will probably only be there for the one day on Sat. It's usually hot, but maybe we'll be lucky and it will be nice like today :) Delete Comment

I think they might have me relieving folks on breaks at different posts. I'll be in period costume...not sure if this one you see in my avatar or my new one that's in the works. Lester usually comes too, but this year I don't think he's making it. Should be a lot of fun anyway...I look forward to it since it will be my first time attending...I usually can't go because it conflicts with my Zion trip, but we're going earlier than normal this year.
