Ed Garner Marks
Six Years at Co-op
Ed Garner of the Student Co-op looks over some baseball gloves
from his sporting goods department with Jack Burns and Richard
Miller.
By FRANK DAVIS
“You name it and the Student
Co-op has it,” has become a fam
iliar saying around the campus at
A&M and College Station since the
Co-op was taken over by Ed
Garner in 1944.
Located on the Sulphur Springs
Road at North Gate, the Student
Co-op was established in 1931
by H. H. Hickman who ran it until
1944 when Garner bought him out.
Until Garner took over, the Co
op had been strictly a book store
with a small radio repair shop.
Garner added a sporting goods
department in 1946 after securing
a MacGregor franchise on tennis
and golf equipment.
Repair Shop Expanded
The radio repair shop was ex
panded in 1948 from one test set
to include the latest equipment for
repairing any make radio and
television set.

radio repair shop in College or
Bryan that has an oscilloscope,
necessary for alignment of tele
vision sets,” Garner said.
The latest addition to the store
was made last year when Garner |
put in key duplicating' equipment.!
Primarily Book Store
Even with sporting goods and
radio repair departments, the Co
op is still primarily a book store.
At the beginning of each semes
ter, Garner finds it necessary to
increase his regular staff of three
to ten. During the periods when
books are not moving rapidly,
Garner’s staff includes his brother-
in-law, Ernest Patton and Cecil
Sims, radio repair man.
Extra Employees
In September, however, six ex
tra students are employed at the
Co-op. At such times Mrs. Garner
helps out also.
Garner came to A&M as a stu
dent in business finance in 1934.
After receiving his degree in
finance in 1938, Garner worked
two years for Firestone Tire and
Rubber Company.
In 1940, homesickness for Ag-
gieland and his wife, the former
Alice Scoates of College Station,
caused Garner to retrace his foot
steps to College Station.
After two years as a clerk in
the Fiscal Office at A&M, Gar
ner bought out Hickman who was
anxious to retire.
Garner and his wife live on West
Park Street, and they have two
children, Dan, who is seven, and
Candace, five.
At Church Sunday
You Will Find...
With hopes that no more drainage problems will cause people at
the Church Street - Main Street intersection any more trouble, the
city is currently grading and cutting down the level of the street
and ditches so near flood conditions will not exist at this spot
everytime a large rain falls.
