Found this. Thought it was interesting. 1900-1901 Austin Directory. These are the Grocers. I found it searching some names from my family history. P. Bosh Galbreath was my great-great-uncle. He was a well-known deputy sheriff, then I guess he got into groceries here in Austin. His business is listed at 811 Red River, which is now the backyard of Stubb's. He's buried in Oakwood Annex along with my great-great-grandpa and their families.

I thought y'all might like to see just how many grocers were in the downtown area back then.
