Also -- I know the building pictured below did not house an "H-E-B" store; originally it was Florence Butt Grocery Company, and then it was named the C. C. Butt Grocery Company. The name "H-E-B Grocery Company" didn't come until much later.

The building which housed Florence Butt's little grocery store. The Butt family lived above the store. This photo was taken many years after the store moved to a different location. |
The site today, on Kerrville's Main Street, between Earl Garrett and Washington Streets. Florence Butt's store was about where the Hill Country Cafe is today. |
I seem to remember a cafe called "The Busy Bee" back in the early 50's where the Hill Country Cafe is shown in the newer photo.
