Inside the Stem general store in Granville County, May 1940.
The young men have dressed up to cast their ballots in a primary election.

This photo was labeled "Mr. Coley's Store, Stem."
Interior of the store
General store and poolroom
Watching the pool game
If all the chairs are taken, take a seat on an old barrel.
I wish I had names for the people in these photos, but all I have is this general information from the photographer, Jack Delano. I can't be sure if all the photos were taken at the same general store and filling station, because the exterior is wood in some and brick in others. But perhaps there was a brick addition for the filling station. Jack Delano worked for the Farm Security Administration
during the Great Depression. Many of his photos have been digitized and placed
on the internet by the Library of Congress. To see more of his photograpy, go
