Culpepper Furniture, one
Baytown's oldest retail bustaeeees
no* in its 37th year, occupies most
of the 600 Mock of West Texas and
West Defee ta the heart of the
dty.
Established to 1934, the furni-
ture store is managed by L. G.
Sanders, veteran buxine
whose anttre c*re*r.haj been
spent with this institution.
Widely known at “Put Ha-
de tV since he first came to East
H5fT2r Cbtffly' as a teacher, Suk
ders has seen the store grow tram
its early beginnings to the giant
two-story operation that eater*
nearly a square block;
Customers from all over Harris
County find their way to Culpep-
per’s to trade. The store's fleet of
huge red delivery trucks can be
seen throughout the territory
where most of the NASA penoo-
nel will be expected to live.
"We have seen great growth In
this area since the early days of
the mid - twenties," Sanders re-
called. "but with the space kb
and ail of the other industrial ex-
pansion predicted tor our commu-
nity, we believe future growth will
dwarf the —rate cf the
pint. It will always be our policy
of needs of toe community regard-
less of how large or small the
need may be."
Culpepper Furniture to noted tor
dream of a public ,
town has grown, into a proposed
$200,000 building at a central site
to be completed within the next
year.
Former Texas Gov. Robs Ster-
ling was the first to envision a
library serving the more than 35,-
000 people in the Baytown area.
He gave a small tract at West
Texas Avenue and Whiting to 1925
to the county.
The building was erected later

appliances.

Sanders said. “We look forward
to meeting tot many NASA em-
ployes who art coming to our sec-
