Marker Text: Pioneer store noted for its continuous career on original site.
 Founded in 1915 by D. A. Jones and John A. Stavely, with associated shareholders. 
Stock--freighted in by Roscoe, Snyder & Pacific Railroad--was typical "general merchandise":
 clothing, materials, groceries, hardware, millinery, patent medicines, seeds, shoes.
 Flour and stock salt were sold by carloads. During 1930s Depression, barter prevailed, 
as local people traded cream and eggs for "store-bought" supplies. Early stock and display
 cases were given to a museum in 1958. (1970)
