Do you know what store that is?
ReplyDeleteMaybe Anderson's book store?
Sorry for the delay in answering! The store is Angood Confectionary and Cigars, 700 N. Main, Newton. It was owned by F.J. "Tene" Angood, who can be seen standing behind the counter holding the baked goods. The calendar on the wall is from the Kansas State Bank, and dated January, 1912, so we were able to date the photo very accurately! Deb Hiebert
