Thanks to Carol A Lokey for identifying this as her grandfather, James M. Josey’s store.

Gene Carroll who worked there for years and always came back and hung around when he was on vacation…..Josey Jr. gave me a job as a bag boy. He was a good man to me and my family.

Mark Cawthon shared this: This is where my mother (Ella Cawthon) shopped. She would be given old bananas and she would bake the store a banana cake. I remember the Old Mr. Josey and younger James Josey. You would buy the groceries and Jene or James would deliver them to the Methodist Parsonage in a new 1967 Ford pickup. You had to step down into the store and the floors were narrow wooden planks. I sold the Grit newspaper to Mrs. Josey every week.
