"In 1929, the Coleman Machine Shop was located at 200 East Pecan Street.  F. B. Simmons was the owner.  They dealt in general auto repairing.  Residing at this address was Robert Johnson, a contractor, with his office at 300 West Live Oak Street."  (Coleman City Directory, 1929 - Hudspeth.)   (Note:  I feel certain this is a typographical error that Robert Johnson was living at this address.  Robert S. Johnson, who was living at 207 East Pecan Street, was a well known building contractor.)
