Winfield Courier, May 1, 1874.
Mrs. E. F. Kennedy has purchased an interest in the milli­nery and dress-making establishment of Mrs. A. H. Gibson. They have had their room refitted and repainted and now have as fine a store as can be found anywhere. They already have a fine stock of goods to which they are making additions daily.
Winfield Courier, May 15, 1874.
Mrs. Gibson & Co. have erected an awning in front of their millinery store. It improves the appearance of their room very much.

Mrs. Gibson & Co., of the Ladies Bazar, have just received a large stock of hats, ties, gloves, and gauntlets, which they are prepared to sell at prices suited to the times.
Winfield Courier, May 27, 1875.
Mrs. Gibson and Kennedy, of the Ladies Bazar, would desire to call the attention of the Ladies to their large and well selected stock of New Goods just received, including hats of all kinds, flowers, ribbons, ties, gloves, hosiery, corsets, fans, parasols, shoulder and hat scarfs, twills, and Hamburg Edges. Laces of all varieties sold at lowest possible prices. Dress making a specialty, also bridal outfits. Please call and examine.
Mrs. A. H. Gibson no longer a partner. Mrs. E. F. Kennedy is now sole proprietor. At least she gave her new address: Opened store three doors south of Read’s Bank...
Winfield Courier, August 12, 1875.
The copartnership heretofore existing, under the firm name of A. H. Gibson & Co., has been dissolved. I have opened a lady’s furnishing store three doors south of Read’s Bank, where I will keep constantly on hand a full supply of lady’s wear of every description. Thankful to my many friends for their past favor, I hope to continue their patronage.
MRS. E. F. KENNEDY.
Winfield Courier, November 11, 1875.
