Mayor Hope, of Wichita, has been in Winfield for a few days past, and has bought 450 head of cattle in this vicinity. He has leased the lot on Main street between A. A. Jackson’s and Jim Hill’s buildings and will build a store for a jewelry shop. His sons will occupy the building before Christmas with $4,000 worth of jewelry stock. They are experienced workmen in their business.
Arkansas City Traveler, December 12, 1877.
The sons of Mr. Hope, ex-Mayor of Wichita, have opened a jewelry store next to Hill’s restaurant, and have some of the finest and most costly goods to be seen in the southwest. Their holiday stock is gorgeous.
Winfield Courier, December 13, 1877.
L. H. Hope has completed his new store building, adjoining Jackson’s restaurant, in which he puts the largest stock of jewelry, watches, clocks, and silverware this side of Kansas City or Leavenworth. Their stock is well selected, consisting of both solid and plated goods, and is neatly and tastefully arranged in the show window and cases. Mr. Hope is recommended to us, by parties who have known him for years, as being a first-class watchmaker, jeweler, engraver, and stencil cutter. We bespeak his success. See his “ad.”

The Hope Brothers presented, last week, a beautiful eight-day clock to the Baptist Church, for which kindness the members thereof return thanks.
Winfield Courier, November 28, 1878.
When the Baptist Sunday School assembled last Sunday morning, an elegant eight day clock was found on the wall of the church. No one knew how it came there except the sexton and he was dumb when asked. Persistent inquiry developed the fact that our city jeweler, Mr. L. H. Hope, was the donor. It was a good deal gracefully done and was a failure only in one respect, he couldn’t keep his left hand from knowing what his right hand had done. He has the thanks of the Baptist Church and Sunday school.
Winfield Courier, December 19, 1878.
Being the only engraver in the city, I am enabled to engrave my own goods free of charge, and warrant satisfaction to all wishing engraving of any kind done. L. H. HOPE.
Winfield Courier, December 19, 1878.
L. H. Hope and Hudson Bros. have on exhibition in their show windows two excellent premiums, consisting of a very fine flower vase and a silver castor, valued at $22.50, which premiums will be given away at the Grand Masquerade Ball on New Year’s Eve to the finest and best appearing lady’s and gent’s mask. Therefore, brace up; secure an invitation and a masquerade suit in time, and whatever character you represent act well, and you will have a chance to be the “lucky person” and carry home the prize. There will be no extra charge for your chance; it only costs $1.50 per couple, the regular price of admission.

[J. P. M. BUTLER & CO.: WINFIELD JEWELERS.]
Winfield Courier, May 13, 1880.
While at Winfield last week, we called on J. P. M. Butler & Co., of that city. This firm is well known to the citizens of Florence, and we are glad to state that they are doing a good business. The citizens of Winfield and Cowley County can con­gratulate themselves on the acquisition of this new firm to the business of their town. These gentlemen have no superiors in the state as mechanics and they are both steady, hard working men, and we freely recommend them to the people of that city. Florence Herald.
[The above refers to our new jewelers, in the old Hope stand, and from their straight forward manner of business, we judge that the compliment is merited.]
