History
The place was built for JJ Pollard, who was the first private store keeper to challenge the Farmer's Co-operative which had formed in 1918. Pollard began as a wheat buyer and agent in 1925. Pollard's son James was with him. James was a novellist. Pollard extended his business and built the store in 1928. In 1934, he sold out to Gimsom and later, Tibee took over. In the mid 1950's ER Hatton conducted an agency business and ran the school bus service from the store. The store still operates.
