August 27, 1921.
Wrightsville and Johnson County was a thriving place in 1921 dispite the early coming of the boll weevil. There was very little that could not be bought here. We had everything for farm and home. Going out of county just to buy something was a rarity. The following is a list of businesses operating the Johnson County in 1921. This is not all of them but is a sample of what we had to offer.
