Some tall crowns! And would love to have that ranch cabin today!
Yes, and the boots are tall as well. I just noticed a pair hanging on the front wall under the porch roof. The description cited the cabin as the bunkhouse.

I figured it might be. It's obviously an old cabin that has been added on to, or perhaps sided in the back.
Was trying to get a look at the 2nd dog but can't see it's head for the hand in the way.
I was curious about both dogs. The other dog has the common markings of a Doberman but I knew the Doberman was a young breed then. Did some digging and found the Doberman was introduced here about 1908.

Millikin's General Store, Bridgewater, Maine, 1954 Photo by Berenice Abbott
Some of my favorite pics are the ones here showing General Stores and their patrons. As a youngster I was fortunate enough to hang out in front of a few with my grandfather and some of my uncles.
A lot of knowledge, wisdom, humor and general BS was passed around those places.

Jack Daniels (1849-1911) died from blood poisoning in Lynchburg, Tennessee from injuries he received after kicking his safe. He forgot the combination.

Always liked his trademark hat & stache. It may just be the work of some marketing genius yrs later, but supposedly his last words from his deathbed were,Jack Daniels (1849-1911) died from blood poisoning in Lynchburg, Tennessee from injuries he received after kicking his safe. He forgot the combination.
“One last drink, please.”
Pretty clever!

My folks bought out a long-time drug store to open a computer and energy efficiency store back in the late 1970s. The prescription part of the business was closed, but the other sundries, over-the-counter meds, shear sharpening, etc. stayed. The group of locals who met for coffee (including the retiring pharmacist) also stayed. Interesting discussions with that group.
