The Old Reliable House

<br>Mayer Goldsoll's Old Reliable House was a popular mercantile with the Texas cowboys. Goldsoll also had stores in Abilene, Russell, Great Bend, and Denison, Texas. In 1873, Ellsworth's Old Reliable House recorded $150,000 dollars in business! It was quite a feat for the times. Texan Henry M. Beverley operated the Ellsworth store. He was a hit with the drovers. Goldsoll closed out his stores in the west when the cattle trade moved beyond Ellsworth. Beverley became a partner in the famous Wright, Beverley & Company of Dodge City.
