Bille, another contributer, sent us this information: The Enid City Directory for 1919 lists George W. Pittman as the owner of a grain elevator at 809 S. Grand and residence at RFD (rural free delivery) 4. The 1933 directory lists George W. Pitman (different spelling) owning a coal and feed business at 111 E. Cherokee with residence 1 mile south of city. The 1943 directory listing is Pitman Coal Co (Geo W. Pitman) for better coal and feed, 111 E. Cherokee Tel 622. He and wife Sarah C are still listed living south of city.
For more research on old Enid businesses visit the library. The Marquis James room on the mezzanine has a complete set of city directories going back to 1906 and vertical files (filing cabinets) containing clippings gathered about many of Enid's older businesses. You can ask the librarian to unlock them.
