50 Years Ago
In honor of today’s Small Business Saturday, I’ve collected advertisements from November and December, 1970 Golden Daily Transcripts. Of the 13 stores shown above, only one is still in business. How many of these do you remember?

Eakers | Hested’s | Gambles | Meyer Hardware | Foss Drug | Apache Western Shop | Golden Time Shop | Jimmie’s Shoe Shop | M&L Sports | Sweetbriar | Jeffco Welding | Cottrell’s Golden Squire | S&S Electronics


Many thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
