June 22 in San Antonio history…

1925
Waco Street’s name is changed to West Ashby Place. Also on this date in 1925, a new state law was passed, changing the name of the Southwest Insane Asylum to San Antonio State Hospital.

1979
The Solo Serve Company, founded as “The Clerkless Store” in 1919, is sold by the Brenner family to the Solo Serve Corporation, a subsidiary of the General Atlantic Group headed by R.J. Grimm, who had been vice-president of the Solo Serve Company. The term “clerkless” meant that customers could roam a store and pick out their own items — instead of having a clerk be in charge of getting each item for a customer.
As is the case in today’s grocery stores, customers in the clerkless store would pay for their items once they were ready to leave. The concept cut down on labor costs, thus allowing stores to sell products at lower prices.

1987
The Spurs use their No. 1 draft pick to select Naval Academy Midshipman David Robinson.
