A Creek Nation land lease cancellation doomed a dry goods and grocery shop. Owner Dunlap could not collect on debts, closed the store, and moved with his three sons Ira Carl and Clyde to Coweta to operate a growing chain that expanded to twelve stores in small eastern Oklahoma towns.
In 1916 at age 15, Retha R Martin worked for the Dunlap Brothers as the company expanded to 20 Oklahoma stores by 1919. After World War I, the Dunlaps planned retirement and began closing stores, moving to California in 1921. Martin stayed in Eufaula Oklahoma and in 1923 borrowed 2000 dollars for a 40 percent stake in the last Dunlap store, marking a new start for a 30 year old business.
