These original Silent Movie Posters, discovered in the attic, are hanging in the Gray & Holt Dry Goods today. Joseph P. Kennedy bought up several Hollywood studios. One small studio was FBO, Film Booking Offices of America, which specialized in Westerns produced cheaply. It's owner was in financial trouble and asked Kennedy to help find a buyer. Kennedy formed his own group of investors and bought it for $1.5 million. Gray & Holt Dry Goods at one time was the old "Dixie Theatre" which played these old western movies. Also, found in the attic were some of the original movie seats from the Dixie Theatre. This store was full of history.
