The
May 25, 1930 edition of the Hobbs Times-Herald carried an advertisement
for the
opening of the Wichita Coffee Shop, which was located on Main
Street. It was
presumably operated by parties named Christian and Culbreith, since
footnotes
contained in
Gil Hinshaw's book Lea,
New
Mexico's Last Frontier include
a listing of
members of the first Hobbs Chamber of Commerce as of July 16, 1930 and
it included
"Christian & Culbreith's Wichita
Coffee Shop".
