Inside Smart's Store 1897





Charles A Smart over the building that Corneius Etheridge and LaForest Jones had started in the 1870;s. Cornelius left first. L A Jones brought Smart into the store  after he had married Charles sister Ella. The marriage failed so Jones sold out to Smart and left town to be a traveling salesman.. Jones later settled in Portage, Columbia County, WI. The store was located on the SE corner of Main St
and Maple Ave. It is located where the Motel is today.
