This appears to be a general merchandise store, at the rear of which is the Silver City post office.
Dr. E. W. Bailey was the first postmaster of record and the post office was located in his drug store
on the southwest corner of Broadway and Main Sts. In 1883 O. L. Scott was appointed postmaster and
the post office was moved from Dr. Gilbert’s store to that of Scott and Jeffery’s store on Bullard St.
Since there is no evidence from the store contents that this is a drug store and since the sign at the top
of the tier of post office boxes reads O. L. Scott Notary Public, we may assume that this is the Scott &
Jefferey’s store. The news stand is located here and above the stack of papers we see the name of Paul
F. Wachenhausen. He was a brother of Mrs. O. S. Warren. . . Picture by Lucas, courtesy Mrs. E. W.
