I found this packet of family pictures of the Howard Butt Sr. in my files recently. Howard Butt was the youngest son of Charles and Florence Butt. Florence started a grocery store; Howard worked in the store and, after many trials, found success and renamed the grocery store the H. E. Butt Grocery Company, which we all know as H-E-B.

These are great! 3rd graders in San Antonio are studying him as well as other entrepreneurs. Can we use some of these for their projects/reports?

Certainly. Everything on this site is available for free to everyone. I hope the 3rd graders enjoy the site! Joe
DeleteBrings back many memories. Ever since I traded in San Antonio, Tx for El Paso, Tx in 2006 I have immensely missed H-E-B Stores. I grew up in them.
