Interior view of an unidentified grocery store located in or around Corpus Christi, Texas. A man in a white apron stands behind a check out counter. In front of him are three additional men, one in a white apron. The man in the center wears dark trousers, black and white wingtips, and a sweater over a shirt and tie. On the counter are a cash register, glass containers, and a large calculating machine. The walls are lined with shelves stocked with canned and boxed goods. A basket of potatoes can be seen in the foreground. This store sold Fair-Maid bread, Lipton's tea, Super Suds, Bugler cigarette tobacco, and Baby Ruth candy bars. Note the jar of jawbreakers, the pinball machine, and the 1¢ gaming device. |
