Merchandise and furnishings are now being sold. Three and four generations of Greenwood families have been customers of Bolton's. A woman, now 85 years old, sent a plaintive message a few days ago "What will I do In December? I've always gotten Christmas presents in your store for my husband, then my sons and grandsons, and I've got some great-grandsons coming along." Julian Bolton sent this reply, "When you are ready to go Christmas shopping, call me, and I'll be happy to go with you and advise, just as I've always done, but in somebody else's store." The greatest change in merchandising over the years has been the big shift to casual clothes for men, the brothers report. In Bolton's early days, Bolton's, a clothing store for men, is soon to close after 66 years in business on the Square in Greenwood. The store was established in 1896.

by the late T. J. Bolton. His two sons, Julian and Harold Bolton, joined the business in 1918 and have managed it in partnership for the last 30 years. "We are closing the store and retiring with very mixed Julian Bolton says.

"There's anticipation looking forward to leisure and time for other interests and activities and we know we will miss the associations enjoyed over a lifetime of business here" Bolton's was first on the east side of the Square, in the building now occupied by Bowling's Boot-ery. It was moved to its present site in 1913 and has been in operation in one location longer than any other store on the west side of the Square. The building is owned by the Boltons, and plans for its future black, dark blue and dark ray were the only colors for men's suits. Many clothes ware tailor made. Measurements were taken here, and orders filled by tailoring establishments in large cities.

A man's new suit was a major production. The Bolton's comment that the average man now has a much more varied wardrobe than his father or grandfather; his ctothes are also more colorful and more comfortable. The Boltons will remain in Greenwood. Mr. and Mrs.

Julian Bolton live at 433 Cothran St. Harold Bolton lives with a sister, Mrs. J. M. Craig at 312 Jennings St.

McFate added that the suit contained no controversy, and therefore his court had no jurisdiction in the matter. In New York, the city's acting health commissioner said the woman whose deformed baby died had taken thalidomide on the advice of a Park Avenue psychiatrist who had ordered the drug from a pharmacy in Germany. In Chicago, the American Medical Association said it assigned its council on drugs to do the research on thalidomide. The drug has been under clinical evaluation since 1956, the AMA said, but it hopes the council's study will provide information on congenital malformations and that "appropriate measures will be developed to safeguard our population."
