F. M. CROSS JEWELRY
F. M. Cross Jewelry was at 317 Railroad
Avenue in the McLearn Building Mike is said to be the only
person who made money off of oil shale, with his custom
items. Per his wife Pat: Rifle's early jeweler Abram
Glover sold out to Mike Cross. He just sold the business.
Mike moved it in the old sporting store with Jim LeDonne,
then later moved into the McLearn building. Also from
Pat: The telegraph office was in Mike Cross’s jewelry store
when we were married in 1959. I remember going and sending
messages on that yellow tape. Not sure how long it was there
Maybe a year or two after we were married.
