Vandalia, Montana; the old store was once also the Post Office.
Two ranch houses, a former schoolhouse and an old store are all that remain in Vandalia. Once located on US Highway 2, the town dwindled after the highway was rerouted, bypassing the town. The Post Office opened in 1904 and was closed in 2010.

Hardware Store Brochure design template by Crispin Finn. Showcased on Inkd.com.
This brochure would be perfect for a local hardware shop providing friendly service to all customers. The graphic exterior uses the identifiable language of tools hanging from a pegboard to convey the subject of the brochure.
My convenience store diorama is finally complete. I had it done over a year ago, but had to disassemble it when my home had to be packed up. Put it back together again and finally had enough light again to take some pictures.

nrhp # 01001395- Ford's Store is a historic general store located in the hamlet of Oak Hill in the town of Durham in Greene County, New York. It was built in 1870 as a two-story commercial building in the Italianate style, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. The restored storefront is composed of a recessed entry flanked by display windows. John Bonafide, preservation analyst from the New York State Parks Commission, said of the building, “As constructed, Ford’s Store is a representative example of Italianate style commercial architecture, popular in America during the third quarter of the nineteenth century. Built on the site of an earlier store and harness shop, the building is architecturally significant as an intact example of simple, mid-nineteenth century commercial architecture in the hamlet of Oak Hill. Today, the Ford’s Store building is one of two intact commercial storefronts to survive in the community. Despite years of neglect and damage, Ford’s store, as restored, survives with a high degree of its architectural integrity.” [2]
Emerson Ford was the first of the Ford family to handle general merchandise there in partnership with G. M. Hallenbeck in 1875 as Ford and Hallenbeck. Emerson Ford had two sons, Ernest E. and N. Dwight. Ernest E. came into the business in 1898 with the help of his wife, Bertie Conran. Emerson’s other son, N. Dwight, married Millie B. Mackey and moved to Nebraska, where they had a son named Theodore Leo. Leo helped at the store during the summers of 1925 to 1926 before coming to work there full time in 1928. He became a partner of Ernest in 1931, and the store was then known as Ford and Ford. The last of the Fords to enter the business were George and Lionel, sons of Leo, and together with their father and great uncle they worked in the store until illness forced Ernest into retirement in the late 1950s.
At that time Ralph Brand took over the store. A newspaper article recounts: “Ralph Brand has purchased stock, fixtures and merchandise of Fords’ store and will rent the building. Oak Hill post office will continue to occupy a portion of the store and will be operated by Leo and George Ford and Gledon Hulbert. Ralph will operate the store with Mrs. George Ford as his assistant.” Kenneth Brand, Ralph’s son, remembers: “My father ran the Ford store in the late 1950’s. I used to play around the store when I was a kid. Behind the store there used to be a shed. The shed had an outhouse in it, and the outhouse extended out over the Catskill creek. No flushing was required. Not very environmentally friendly, but that’s the way things were done back then. John Cords ran it for a few years after my father gave it up. I would guess that it closed around 1966 or 1967.” Sometime after that, the front windows were removed to install garage doors to allow the space to be used for auto repairs and storage.
The building was restored in the 1990s, when the original components of the façade were found intact in the basement of the building and reinstalled. For a time, George Stevens ran a business called The Electric Farm out of the building, selling plants, especially African violets, that were grown under lights. Later the building was used as an annex of DeWitt Hotel Antiques, and then as a bookstore run by Fari Raad of Cornwallville. A record store, Dope Jams, which operated in Brooklyn from 2006 to 2012, was next to occupy the space. Dope Jams had been called “one of the best record stores on the East Coast.” The store, owned by Paul Nickerson, was decorated “like Aleister Crowley’s library” and carried house, dance, disco music, classic hip-hop, and techno. In 2020 the building was painted a solid charcoal gray when poet Kostas Anagnopoulos took over the space as Pidgin, selling antique furniture and objects with select contemporary items. Kostas said of the store, "A pidgin is a simplified form of communication; an informal language, often developed in trade, allowing those from different backgrounds to convey thoughts to one another. I like to think of the objects in my store, with their quiet presence and shared appeal, as both the medium and the message."

Penn,s Store is located in the Forkland area of Marion, Boyle and Casey County, Kentucky. The property is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places
and is a designated Kentucky Historical Landmark, also is listed as a Kentucky Centennial Business.
.........................Penn's Store is the oldest country store in America run by the same family since 1850. The age of the store is not actually known. It can be traced back to 1845 when William Spragens at age 21 ran the store; however, others are known to have run it before Spragens.
Gabriel Jackson "Jack" Penn was the first Penn to own the store. In c.1870 ownership and operation of the store was transferred from Jack Penn to his oldest son, Martin Wilson "Dick" Penn. Dick Penn was born the second child of nine children on February 19, 1852. He married Isabelle May and they had one son, David Martin Penn. Dick and Isabelle lived in a little house next to the store.
Dick Penn was truly a man of many talents. Among his professions were being a surveyor, dentist, druggist, and postmaster. He was the community's first postmaster and Penn's Store was site of the first post office in the area known as Rollings, Kentucky. In c.1910 the post office moved to Gravel Switch to be close to the train, which would stop in the town to get gravel from the creek.
Dick Penn was given a grant by the governor of Kentucky to administer drugs. Penn's Store carried a wide assortment of drugs which Penn sold to the local people. Penn was also known to have a cure for skin cancer and treated many people with such afflictions. He was given the cure by a foreign doctor. It is believed that he came to the area to meet with Dr. Cleaver who had an office near the store. Dick Penn swore to secrecy the formula and never divulged its ingredients. Since no one in the family held Penn's love for medicine, on July 4, 1913, after a hot day of surveying, Martin Wilson Penn died from a heat stroke on the store porch. Thus, the cancer secret went with him.
Dick's son, Martin Penn, at age 36 became the new store keeper. Born March 24, 1877, Martin married Nina Sue Kirkland and they had 10 children. Five boys and five girls: Daisy (b.1899), Evelyn (b.1901), Theol (b.1904), Paulette (b. 1906), Haskell (b.1908), Gerald (b.1911), Jeane (b. 1913), Alma (b.1915), Hunter (b.1919), Miles (b.1922).
Penn's Store looked quite different in its younger years than it does today. There were many buildings that surrounded the store. There was a spirits shop to the right of the store, a poultry coop used to house chickens and assorted fowl that people brought to the store to trade for goods, and a storage building that Dick Penn used to keep his surplus drugs. Dick and Isabelle's house was to the left of the store, complete with a rock walk leading to the store. After Dr. Cleaver left the area, his office and house became the home of Martin and Sue Penn. The store then carried a wide variety of goods. There were shoes, fabric, farming tools, lanterns, and just about any thing that was needed by a rural inhabitant.
Martin Penn, with the help of his five sons, farmed while also tending to the store. However, one day in 1933, while raking hay with a team of horses, the team got spooked and ran off with him. Martin's legs were entangled in the reins and he was dragged along the creek bed near the store. Shortly thereafter he died from massive injuries.
Sue Penn, "Mammy" as she was affectionately called, became the new storekeeper. Along with all of the children she kept the store running. By this time, some of the children were married and had moved to other states, but some of the children had moved nearby and came daily to help. Haskell, who never married, stayed with Mammy to help work the family farm and help tend to the store. Alma, "Tincy", came daily to help with the store and do the "women's chores" around the house. In 1972, at the age of 92, Mammy died in her sleep.
This left Haskell as the next storekeeper, along with help from Tincy, who still would come and do the "women's work" plus stay in the store on occasion. Haskell tended the store for many years. He lived alone in the family house. Penn's Store had changed little over the course of the years. It was still the place to come to in the community and new residents would always make themselves known to Penn's Store. Haskell kept the store open seven days a week, rain or shine.
In 1993, after suffering a stroke, Haskell passed away. He was 84. He passed the store on to his youngest sister Tincy, who kept everything just as it was with little changes. Tincy received help from her daughter and grand-daughters in keeping the store open every day, seven days a week, rain or shine.
In June 2000, one of Tincy's granddaughters, Dava, passed away from a heart condition. In December 2001, Alma 'Tincy' Penn Lane passed away. She passed the store on to her daughter Jeanne Penn Lane and grand-daughter, Dawn Lane Osborn.
Street kids collect scrap paper, plastic bottles etc. But where do they sell those? Well, here is the answer. There are a large number of scrap shops around in Dhaka city. Plastics and papers are recycled, and these sort of shops are the first step towards the process.
Life is not a luxury for the shop owners. To maximize the profit, they often pay less than the actual price to the kids who sell papers and plastics in such shops.
Is there any way to break the vicious circle of poverty and neverending demands ?
My niece gave up her Monster High dolls this year and I couldn't resist re-imagining the "Coffin Bean" store front. My vision was more like a Convience store than a coffee house, but I think it turned out pretty good.

Today's thrift store score (except for the pose doll who I found a while back). I think they all came from the same home. Interesting lot they are. I'm pretty stoked about finding Tutti and a Susie Sad Eyes (who is looking mighty pissed that she's nekkid).
587 will now be stored in Hull depot, never to return to service.
Can you tell I like this bus? The roller blinds are a dying breed for sure, certainly worth chasing via train to Cottingham to catch the 12.32 arrival at Cottingham The Green (Sainsburys in brackets).
*hints at anyone to purchase this fine vehicle for preservation since no President has yet been preserved and this has a rollerblinds*
Fisher's General Store is part of a Nostalgic little village just outside of Portage la Prairie, about 50 miles west of Winnipeg.
Through the right window you can see an old barber's chair, that part of the store is an old style Barber Shop. I was standing by that chair when I took the shot "Remember When" posted yesterday.......now you know the rest of the story!
