DESCRIPTION |

Interior view of an unidentified grocery store located in or around Corpus Christi, Texas. Two men in jackets stand behind a counter. Behind them are shelves of canned and boxed goods. A man in a dark hat, leather jacket, and pin-striped pants stands in front of the counter. This grocery was not self-service. Instead, the men behind the counter would fill customers' orders. This store advertised Mazola oil and Kre-Mel dessert. Nueces coffee (from a local wholesaler, see negative 976:0021:0244); Palmolive soap, 5¢; Post Toasties cornflakes; Mother's and National Oats, K.C. and Dairy Maid baking powder; Lily White flour; and Spanish salt were sold. |
