Lewis "Louie" Graves, the manager of the First National Store on Boston Post Road, stands proudly in his white coat, which implies cleanliness and high standards of hygiene. A newspaper account (1954) reported that "Louie" came "to the little store on State Road East in March, 1929" where "he became an institution, not only because of the products he sold, but because of his unruffled demeanor in the face of impatient customers and his willingness to cash checks."Photograph Details
