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".
