Plan Souvenir Shop in Lusk

Bill Smith announced plans this week to build a souvenir shop out of the Swope Garage building between the Bar BQ Corral Drive-in and the Covered Wagon Motel.  The business will be operated by his mother, Mrs. Hester Smith, during the summer months.  It is planned to construct a large false front on the garage building which he has leased from Al Titchner.
