By the time I can remember this business it was Pettus Lumber Company, selling lumbar and building supplies only.
The person submitting this photo was a boy I grew up with in our small town.
He never went into the family business started by his grandfather but after college became the owner of an insurance and reality company in our town along with his best friend.
He married the sister of his partner and the two families still own this company in my home town.
Go here for more great photos and stories of days gone by.
