The 1950s in Lamesa, Texas, was a time of inspiration among the businessmen of the community. Many officed downtown where Turners Cafe, and later the Green Hut, were handy coffee shops for bankers, lawyers and businessmen of the town. Walking around the town square was the handiest mode of transportation in that day as they carried on business in the corner bank or the county courthouse. Suit and tie, and hat, were the attire of these gentlemen, who were not above rolling up their shirt sleeves to sweep downtown streets if a nasty wind filled them with sand. Edith Standifer, in gloves and hat, had just returned from her trip to Jerusalem and was busy selling real estate to these businessmen.
