GRANT BROTHERS

E. D. and R. J. Grant, members of the Grocery firm of Grant Brothers, on the north side of the square in Hamilton are native Texans. They were reared in Gatesville, Coryell county, and educated in Texas schools.

Their parents were outstanding pioneers of Coryell County and gave generously of their time and labor means to the upbuilding on broad and permanent lines, the town and community they had chosen as their home. Their parents in the wisdom of their experience trained their family along the same principles of upbuilding and permanency. Such substantial background places Grant Brothers in the front ranks of the business men of the town.

The two brothers came to Hamilton in 1906 and in 1925 opened a grocery business which through the intervening years they have successfully guided through the most difficult financial period in history.

They carry a select stock of staple and fancy groceries that are sufficient in quality and quantity to meet the requirements of the most fastidious buyers and are prepared to give prompt and efficient service.

They still occupy the building where they first commenced their business venture in Hamilton.

E. D. Grant married Miss Winnie Shipman of Hamilton and R. J. Grant married Miss Vera Monday, also of Hamilton. Both of the young women are native Texans and take a lively interest in the affairs of the business and are active in all of the civic and social interest of their hometown and like their husbands are very worthwhile citizens of Hamilton.
