PAT: Old man Cody Hubbard ran a store out here on Main Street and he went to California and he give me a job working for him while he was gone to California.  And so whenever he come back, Bill Center who run a store here, went into the second hand and new furniture business.  So I worked for him and all.  Some woman at Pottsboro wanted a coal oil stove.  One was advertised, so he sent me out and looked at it.  I went out and looked at it and all.  She wanted fifteen dollars for it.  It needed cleaning up and new wicks in it.  I gave her ten dollars and we took it in and they cleaned it up and put new wicks in it, called this woman and she come got it.  They got thirty-five dollars for it.  Old man Hubbard told me, "Pat, I went into the wrong business when I went into the grocery business.  If I'd went into the furniture business when I went into the grocery business, I'd have had money to throw away."  And his boy is running a furniture store down here in town now.  Hubbard Furniture.
