Purina Chow - Cuero, Texas - a photo on Flickriver

Purina Chow - Cuero, Texas

            This was a late 19th Century or early 20th Century downtown feed store with some nice Purina Chow ghost signs. 

The city of Cuero had its start in the mid-19th century as a stopping point on the Chisholm Trail cattle route to Kansas. It was not recognized as a town until 1873, though, when it was officially founded. The city was named for the Spanish word "hide", referring to the leather made from animal hides. The industry was extremely short-lived, however, and gave way to various forms of ranching. The city had several Old West gunfights related to clan feuding following the Civil War.
