En savoir plus sur le livre

The late-nineteenth-century general store served as a vital economic and social hub in small towns, providing essential goods and extending credit to cash-strapped farmers. This mutual dependence fostered deep community ties, as store owners played key roles in establishing local churches and institutions. Relationships extended beyond commerce, with shared worship, education, and mutual support during crises highlighting the interconnectedness of merchants and residents in these communities.
