Jim/Sharon: Seems like I remember Silberberg's store being next door to the old Texan movie theater, which burned in the mid fifties. After it burned I think it was reopened as Marx Men's wear on the corner. It seems like the Odd Fellow hall was above these buildings. You can still see the Silberberg sign that is painted on the back of the buildings if you drive down that street that did go to the fire station ...before it burned.( The fire station burned later..poss. late 60's) It seems there is a storey about the cause of that fire. Does anyone recall it?

Tom & all, I do not believe Silberberg / Marx's was ever on the corner that I know of unless it was before my time it has always been in the same place. I remember as a boy, the large display glass in case that was like a island in the front of the store. It was probably about 6 ft x 10 foot. You could walk around and around it without going into the store, then there was two sets of double doors, never did seem to be a main door, but the mens side was on the left and the ladies and bedding etc was on the right. I also believe there was a penny weight machine it front, as the was at a few other stores, at least 3. Been a long day, better hit the sack and get ready for 5:50 a.m. again.
