Jack Lloyd's Store - Mazinaw Lake
The sign on the left reads: Jack Lloyd, Groceries, Gas, Oil, Tires, Boats, Cabins.
Don Brown remembers: "The store was perched on the shoulder of the road directly across from "The Pines" at Brown's Park. It was a tiny place with basics and gas. The building had living quarters in the south end. There was a porch and a deck overlooking the lake. It was one of the most ramshackle, unsafe structures I've ever seen.
I suppose I weighed about 50 pounds back then, and I was afraid to walk on it. Irv and Gene Brown managed the store until they built their own two miles north. My sister Ruth Lloyd (and husband Jack Lloyd) operated the store and lastly, a man named Matt McLeod.
One photo shows my father, long-time guest, Major Gerow, and McLeod. It's also a good shot of the old hand lever "Supertest" gas pump. When Hwy 41 was improved and widened around 1952 or 53, my father (Bryce Brown) moved the building down the hill to the beach, where it lived out its life as cottage number 8.
