James M. Radford was educated in the schools of Bryan and his first business enterprise was in the line of merchandising. He became a clerk in the employ of his brother-in-law, W. B. Morse, of Bryan, with whom he remained for several years. In October, 1883, when twenty-one years of age, he came to Abilene and established a retail grocery business in his own. He has continuously done business in Abilene from that day to the present time and his now extensive wholesale enterprise is the outgrowth of the small business which he instituted in 1883. The J. M. Radford Grocery Company is now doing the largest volume of business of any house west of Fort Worth and ranks as one of the most extensive wholesale interests of Texas, while the main house is located at Abilene. They have branch houses in Colorado, Sweetwater, Cisco and Stamford. Mr. Radford, together with his brother, E. E. Radford, and his brother-in-law, J. F. Handy, have developed and own the Colorado salt mines, at Colorado, Texas.
