Description
(Original Caption) A typical general store and meeting place in the Oklahoma farm area was badly lighted, cluttered and smelling of pickled herring, coal and oil, and stale tobacco smoke in the late 1800s. But the General Store, with its barrels, boxes and bins of food opened to dirt and dust and flies, was the only outlet for food when many farmers were still producing for their own needs and those of the nearby community. In years that followed, development in industry, farming and marketing made long distant food shipping possible. Through this development today's large grocery markets have grew, and now supply the American consumer who spent about 100-billion dollars in 1962 on food.
