Don't the three gentlemen look happy and excited to have their picture taken.

Neat pic.

Very cool.

There were itinerant photographers that traveled around taking pictures and then returning to sell them to the store owners. I have several of my grand mother's store; the earliest is 1909 and then two others from 1920.

The early one is below.
The really old guy seated is my great grandfather......... civil war cavalryman.... My grandfather is standing in the back as is my grandmother with my dad's oldest brother in arms.'

Thanx for the posting

I love stores with graphics. here's a test build by Geil Troughton of a card stock kit I designed for an up coming DVD collection.

Think I'll add more signage to the kit before i release it.

Thom....

that is a very cool building. I'm not normally one for a stucco but that is cool. Here is a photo of an old general store that was restored to a second hand store in a little town in central Idaho call Fenn. It might be on a really good map along US Hwy 95 south of Lewiston.
