Dub's Place

Buddy Baker:  "I remember Dub Whitfield, well.  He used to deliver milk to our place when I was a kid (1920s and '30s.)  His folks owned a dairy out where Lowe's is now.  They had their own bottling operation.  Dub delivered the bottles with a horse and wagon.  He'd leave new full bottles on the step and pick up the empty ones.

Then people got to where they bought their milk at the grocery store and he opened Dub's Place."

Dub Whitfield peers out of the window to watch the photographer.

Buddy Baker:  "Dub's was where Checkie Tavern is now."

Dub sat for his portrait at about the same time as he hired the photographer to take pictures of his successful business.

Everything must eventually end.

Everything.

Dennis Houx Janice & I bought his house on 310 W. Gay street in Warrensburg. Janice went down to his auction just to buy his sofa they had and Dub knew Granddad Anderson real well and as the story goes, while I was at work for Dr. Price & Dr. Miller, Dub suggested we buy his house. When Janice called me and I went there, Dub set the price and then he ask Janice & I what we could pay per month without it putting us in ant trouble. We told him and he said he would do that and he carried the loan. If we had stayed there it would have taken us around 41-42 years to pay off. There are none like Dub..

Penny Easterwood Wasn't Dubs Place on Holden, north of 50, west side at the bottom of the hill?

Carol Dunham You are correct Penny....my Dad went there as a kid....was able to get a hamburger and play a game of pool for 25 cents!

Steve Pearson He was partners with my Grandfather Raymond Stevens (Steve) anyone remember the man that lived in a shack behind Steve and Dubs? His name was Thistle.

Buddy Baker:  I remember Mr. Stevens.  They had - you know when you come back from Lowes down Holden Street? There's a storage place there now. It was Steve and Dubs.
