Langston's even purchased much of its goods from the farmers who were their customers. The produce department would appraise the farmer's goods and provide him with a voucher for purchase of anything in the store or he could redeem the voucher for cash at the front of the store. This system, along with the wide selection of goods, made Langston's a popular destination for local shoppers, with many spending the better part of their day in town at the store selecting merchandise, negotiating the sale of goods, and generally entertaining themselves in the store.

To help, Mr. Langston established a line of credit for anyone who needed extra time to sell their crop before they could pay for the goods they needed to purchase. This helped many farmers to keep working their land without worry of incurring too much debt and possibly losing their farms. Mr. Langston also recognized the need to help teachers, who were then being paid with draft vouchers instead of cash due to budget shortfalls by the State.

The drafts were to be paid if and when the state had enough revenue to pay them off. Fueled by his enduring optimism and belief in the local community, Mr. Langston decided to honor all teachers' drafts towards the purchase of any merchandise in the store. Even though it took several years, Langston's eventually saw the state pay on every draft Mr. Langston accepted.

By this time the Joneses had purchased another store in Oklahoma and Barber and Broach acquired their interest in Langston's. When Mr. Barber returned from the Navy, he set out acquiring stores around the Southwest and either liquidating them or moving the merchandise to Oklahoma City.

In addition to a second location, Langston's changed a lot during the 1940s. As the economy grew, so did the number of products available to the consumer. In order to offer the variety of apparel and footwear the customer demanded, some merchandise lines had to be dropped to make room. Specifically, the Reno Street store dropped the feed and seed department as well as hardware. The nature of grocery shopping also changed. Instead of filling orders for the customer, the trend was now self-serve markets.

In an attempt to implement this new concept, Broach and Barber leased the grocery department to Sylvan Goldman, whose biggest contribution to shopping was the invention of the shopping cart. However, it soon became obvious the small 5,000 square foot grocery store could not stock enough items to satisfy the new customer who demanded more choices and the grocery department was closed. Langston's had now become primarily a western and casual clothing retail store.

The opportunity for Langston's to join the growing mix of retailers came on a plane flight on the way back from a buying trip. Mr. Barber met a man who had a variety store in Capitol Hill and was looking to sell. Recognizing the opportunity and the need for a store in the suburbs, Mr. Barber bought the store and brought the new Langston's apparel only model to the district.

One innovation for the new store was the Bargain Basement. In response to rising inflation, Langston's would buy overstocks and overruns directly from the clothing and boot manufacturers. This allowed Langston's to keep a large supply of items with inflation busting prices. The concept was so successful that the volume of sales from the basement soon matched that of the rest of the store.

The Bargain Basement is often credited for the sustained success of the store even after many other Capitol Hill merchants left for the malls. The store would remain open in Capitol Hill for 35 years until 1987 when it moved to Shields Plaza at I-240 and S. Shields Blvd, where it remained until 2017.

Thankfully, it seemed that each time western wear grew more popular, new space was available in which to expand. The first came when the owner of the Luther's store next door passed away.

Langston's purchased the space and expanded into it to create a highly specialized western wear department that served to separate all the western merchandise from conventional men's and ladies' apparel.

Soon after, the departure of Norma's lounge and another western retailer provided Langston's the opportunity to add another 10,000 square feet. This allowed for an expansion of the boot department and the open display of the more than 10,000 pair of boots Langston's was now offering.

The increased growth led Mr. Barber, along with his son who joined the company in 1970, and partner Mr. Boatmun to consider building a larger store in another location. But the combination of Langston's western heritage with that of the Stockyards was just too good a match to pass up. With the last piece in place, the store became the company's flagship western wear store that you see today.

At Langston's, we are proud of our heritage that spans 100 years and four generations. We continue to strive to honor the legacy and tradition of serving the greater western lifestyle community started by Mr. L.Y. Langston.

Much of his success and that of Langston Co. over the years is due to a sense of community and tradition that he successfully integrated into the business he started in the small farming community of Harrah, Oklahoma in 1913.
