Ad for Emma Smith’s Millinery Shop, July 16, 1875 Arizona Weekly Miner.
An early milliner, perhaps the first to open a shop in Prescott, was Miss Emma Ray. Ads for her millinery shop began appearing in the Arizona Weekly Miner in spring, 1875. Located next to Dr. McCandless on Gurley Street on the north side of the Plaza, she sold hats and other fine accessories, as well as dresses. Miss Ray was the only woman to appear in the July 9, 1874 Arizona Weekly Miner’s Business Directory. Shortly after opening her shop, Miss Ray became Mrs. Frank Smith and soon gave up her business. According to the 1880 U.S. Census, she had two children and was listed as keeping house.
