Levi Strauss & Co. patented the blue jean in 1873 and paved the way for workwear in the late 1800s and early 1900s. This poster featured in A. L. Gibson’s Dry Goods Store showcases early Levi’s advertising.👖

We were sorry about closing last week but, without water, we had no choice. We are sorry about any inconveniences it may have caused.
Starting January 3, we will return to our normal daytime hours and we will get ready for our 122nd Spindletop Anniversary on January 14.

Unfortunately, we will have to close from 4 pm today for the rest of the week due to our water being shut off before the deep freeze. Please stay tuned if we can open next Tuesday. We are disappointed we can't continue our City in Lights until next week.
