Packard's Store (to become Corners Grocery)

Main area of store included the candy case, marble counter with cash register and ice cream case against the wall, then the meat case, and the McCaskey register for customer accounts. The room on the left in back was for hardware, kerosene, etc. Beside that on the back was the shoe room w/ pay phone, next clothing dept in front of shoe room, then the post office and the dry goods dept. In the wing of the building was the oil room behind the Texaco gas pumps. The 1-car private garage was later converted to a snack bar. The Proprietor's family (Packard) lived over the store. Some are post cards. Including some negatives. Note Texaco sign
