Mercury dealership approximately 1952.The building is still there. I drive by this building daily, almost, and have wondered what was once there. Seeing a picture in the book, "Memories of America Searcy" with my husband, a former car dealer, he pointed out that the Mercury dealership was once l...

Searcy's first female barber?While sitting in the barber chair a few days ago, I noticed this framed advertisement on the wall. I examined it more closely and saw the "Searcy's First female Barber" written under one of the pictures. The ad was from approximately 1977 and I was in her barber cha...

Hotel Mayfair, Searcy ArkansasThis picture was published in the August 1936 White County Centennial Edition of The Daily Citizen and White County Citizen. It's the Mayfair Hotel in downtown Searcy and what impresses me the most if the extensive foliage around it. If the trees were this big at t...
