Exterior of the Pennock Grocery Store

In this vintage photograph, three men are standing outside a brick building identified as "The Economy Store," a place that sells groceries and provisions. George Pennock is on the left and his brother Edmond on the right. One brother owned the store in Liberty Center, and this image is of the other store. The storefront displays various advertisements, with one for "Mail Pouch" tobacco prominently featured on the left. The storefront has an awning above with the words "GROCERIES," "THE ECONOMY STORE," and "PROVISIONS" clearly visible, despite some letters fading with time. The men, dressed in early 20th-century attire, including waistcoats and rolled-up sleeves, stand with hands on their hips, exuding a sense of pride and camaraderie. The display windows showcase numerous goods, with a large print of a woman in traditional attire and advertisements for "Old Dutch Cleanser" and "Bachelor" tobacco noticeable. The sepia tone and the aged appearance of the photograph, with slight damage and creases on the surface, suggest its historical significance, capturing a moment from a bygone era that reflects the lifestyle and commerce.
