Colleyville History:
"SP~?APSHO'i"S" FR(3M YEARS PAST
With rhe New Year approachir~g, w@ thought i~ might be
fun to ~ook at some Colfeyville "snapshats" from years
past. The following excerpts are frorn Colleyvifle Thera and
IVOW.
Pho~ee nurnbers had only five cCigits. L~ater they had six
6
but a word was added to help reeafl the first two letters,
Fortune-0509 for FO-05C19 or Wilson-fl084 for WI-0084.
Luther Cantrell g~rew a nineteen-pound cantalaupe in
his garden, IocaYed across the street from where t~e
McDonalds is now lacat~d c~n Highway 26.
Clyde Shivers' service station sold soda pop six for a
quarter, if baught hot, or five cents each if ce~ld,
To beat the heat, people would wet kitchen tawels, harag
them in the car windows ko let the wind blow thraugh and
cool the air before ti~ere was car air conditioning. You
could buy an electric "ice box" (refrigerator) and if you
didn't have the cash ko pay for it, the store in Grapevine
would send you vne witf~ a co~n b~x attached. Twenty-five
cents a day would keep it operating and the quarters
wauld make the vueekly payment. Wal~er's Big Dandy
Bread truck deliuered bread ~avr to door in Bransford.
When you wanted bread delivered you woe~fd tie a dishrag
on the mail box. The price of bread was ti~ree laa~ves for
twenty-five~ cents.
The-Coileyvifle-Area Chamber af C~omnnerce-aa~tioned
a five donkey at their Evening with Frdends Auction held at
Nin~ Acr~s. The winning bid was $256.
Maria~ane Ffanders and Judy Royball conducted oral
history sessions with Colleyville residents as they
researched an ~arly history for the first Colleyville history
book. Tn 1979, when Dclaware natives, Br~rce and Mimi
Ayar~, fallawed a neighbor's recommendation tc~ sha~ for
groceries at Burrus, they found a horse tethered to a
hitchung post: positive proof to them that Colleyville was,
indeed, in 7~xas.
The Colleyville Lions Club brought professiona!
wrestling to the Colleyville, The action-packed events
benefit~d the club's scholarship furod.
