Landmark of Ada Business Passes From 1903 Era
The 40 by 100 foot stone building beside the Frises tracks in Ada housed the Ada Wholesale Grocery, later occupied by Armour & Co and then the Keltner Wholesale Grocery. J M Keltner and F M Nance visited Ada in 1902 to view the young town. The firm grew, prompting a larger building, then Super Transportation used the structure until recently when H S Moore began dismantling it on a Saturday.
