PROFILE: Lapp General Store


A new general store.  Short sales people on the street showing off the latest .22 rifles.  Wide new sidewalks all along Pacific Avenue's north side through the entire town.  Yep, St. Vincent was on a roll in 1912...
One of the best historical essays is all about the history of this store - HIGHLY recommended reading!
