Store - Coffee and other indgredients Tissue Paper

In the past, if you wanted food you had to shop at many different stores. Grocery stores, meat and fruit stores, pharmacies etc. It was a lot like it is now, only back then there was less of everything. This is a general store, you can think of these as convenience stores of the past. You would choose the item you needed and the person behind the counter would get it for you. The amount was limited so you could only get what you needed. They had everything you needed, patent medicines, ingredients, spices, sewing supplies, writing instruments, coffee, just a bit of everything. It was also a local hang out, and you would often see lots of people here talking and warming up by the stove.
