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.

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.

That is a wonderful photo, looks like it could have been taken yesterday.

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,

“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.
