| "In 1929, Handelman's
was located at 201 South Commercial Avenue. Alex
Mayers was the manager.
They dealt in dry goods." (Coleman City
Directory, 1929 - Hudspeth.)
Carolyn and Cotton Curry, operating The Carousel in the old Alex Mayers building at 201 S. Commercial Avenue, decided to go out of business. John and Nell Walthall purchased the building and business, opening a new junior and children’s wear shop, continuing the name as the Carousel. The store was managed by Diana (Walthall) Dobbins.
