Pettee’s was a hardware store. Imagine that: a hardware store downtown. From a website devoted to the Oklahoma Police Dept.’s history, some notes on Pettee's: In the early part of Gault's second administration, a tough Texas gambler named George Shields, known as "Satan Shields," learned that some of the gang came to town to kill a friend of his. Shields went to Pettee's Hardware Store on Main, bought an ax-handle and went around the corner to the Black and Rogers to confront six members of the gang. In less time than it takes to tell it, all six were unconscious on the floor. When they came to, all six were hauled before Police Judge Ben Miller, who fined them $100 each....for attempting suicide. (mocking trumpets) Bell Clothing was prosperous enough to sponsor a Country / Western musical group, the Bell Boys; they apeared on WKY radio.
