Cowboys Love Cokesbury’s — 1947
by Paula Bosse
by Paula Bosse
Today is my late father’s birthday. He was, in every respect of the word, a “bookman.” Every year on his birthday I post something bookstore-related.
His specialty was Texana and Western Americana. This Texas-themed Cokesbury’s ad is from September 1947, the same month The Aldredge Book Store opened (the store my father — Dick Bosse — eventually owned, a store which was also known for having “some pretty good books on Texas”).

Sources & Notes
This ad appeared in the Sept. 28, 1947 edition of The Dallas Morning News.
