Darby Department Store Closes After 66 Years in Grand Saline
Time marches on as Darby Department Store ceases operations in Grand Saline after 66 years. Opened in 1929 by Clyde Darby and E L Dorough, the store shaped downtown life with long Saturday hours and busy Main Street scenes. Owner Galloway Darby cites it as a thoughtful end to a local era.
