Mayer Goldsoll's Old Reliable House was a popular mercantile with Texas cowboys. Goldsoll also had stores in Abilene, Russell, Great Bend, and Denison, Texas. In 1873, Ellsworth's Old Reliable House recorded $150,000 dollars in business, a remarkable feat for the times. Texan Henry M. Beverley operated the Ellsworth store and was a hit with the drovers. Goldsoll closed his western stores when the cattle trade moved beyond Ellsworth, and Beverley later became a partner in the famous Wright, Beverley & Company of Dodge City.
