A little S.D. Myres History
Born     on November 22, 1871 in Johnson County, Texas, Samuel Dale Myres was the son     of David Rittenhouse and Mary Jane Dale Myres.
The oldest of six children,     Myres opened the S. D. Myres Saddle Company in Sweetwater, Texas, in 1898.     He was involved in many civic organizations including serving as president     of the Sweetwater Commercial Club, serving on the local school board from     1914-1915, and being the mayor of Sweetwater from 1908-1911.
In 1920, Myres moved his company to El Paso, Texas. The company became famous  for its superior craftsmanship and Myres mingled with many famous western actors  and personalities of his day.  In 1953, Myres passed away and was buried in  El Paso.
Below is a saddle made for D.  C. Jackling,  President of the Ray Consolidated Copper Co. Mines, of San  Francisco, California.  One of the most beautiful saddles Myres ever made.   The order date of this saddle helped to determine the age of this amazing  catalog.
