Scope and content
ca. 1942. Henry C. and Margaret Turner owned Turner's Cash Market, a Red & White Food Store franchise. They provided rural shoppers with groceries, hardware, and gasoline plus the convenience of a first aid station and Post Office. In 1942-43, Turner's was one of 90 local Maxwell service stations that featured Mobil products. The building was built in 1929 by Gordon L. Foy as the Stop & Shop; Foy's sister Anna was the Lacey post master from 1915 to 1954. Today, the building is home to Allstate Insurance, Top Choice Janitorial Supply and Domino's Pizza.
