The term "cash store" was popular during the early 20th century. I've seen it used before for general stores or groceries.

At one time, St. Luke was a thriving town with two churches, a school, post office, sawmill, and two general stores. Over the years there were various businesses including a blacksmith shop, a saddlery, a gas station, lime plant, and even a distillery. [Source: Shenandoah County Library.] The churches and this store remain, plus a former schoolhouse that is apparently owned by one of the churches.
The community is in a pretty rural area. Here are some farm buildings along St. Luke's Road.

ReplyDeleteWith all the people around you it is hard to imagine a fading town. There is one town near my fathers boyhood area that has 7 people.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful general store.
