Keeping Up With Change Meeting people and being able to stay in contact with his friends are most important to Walter Jar- vis. His first store was built in 1908 where the present K-Wolens store is now. In 1944 he changed locations to where he is presently. When describing his old store, he said the way stores were then, everything stayed in boxes on the shelf 5 whereas, now everything is on display . We had groceries, hardware, shoes, floor coverings, and all kinds of materials for the farm- ers. THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS in 1908. v-nf 5l BELOW: Mr. Jarvis' store in 1908. LEFT: Mr. Jarvis in 1976.
