Sowell's Home Supply. Now Sowell's Furniture. Wonderful picture of old Searcy.

We usually hate getting mail that is trying to get us to buy something, don't we? Not as much as we hate telemarketers but we usually glance at it and then throw it in the trash.

Mail a few days ago, however, caught my eye. There was this fantastic photo of an old truck with Sowell's Home Supply, PHONE 499, Searcy ARK on a large card.

One the back the owners of Sowell's was inviting us to Sowell's Furniture to celebrate their 64th year in business. On March 19,20, and 21 they want us to stop by at 207 West Arch Avenue and wish them all a Happy Birthday. They'll give us a discount on lots of furniture items. I need a new LazyBoy chair so I plan to visit.

The girl in the truck is reportedly Betty Lynn Sowell Mote who still operates the store along with her sister Nancy. Nancy says the time-frame of the picture was probably 1953 to 1955 and the location was the 900 block of Arch Street.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SOWELL'S FURNITURE!! I loved your advertisement!
