| DESCRIPTION |

Interior view of an unidentified grocery store located in or around Corpus Christi. Two men in white shirts stand behind the store's check out counter, one wearing a white apron. A customer in a hat and striped shirt stands to the side. This store was not self-service. The men behind the counter would take the customers' orders and retrieve the items. The grocery sold brooms and wash tubs, Texas pecans, canned food for 5¢, donuts for 19¢ per dozen, Mother's Oats for 27¢, Hi-Plane tobacco, Sunshine Zwieback, Edgemont crackers, and bulk cookies sold by the pound (in the glass top cases on the left). |
