Colourized photo from 1940
Original title: Interior of general store and poolroom
Photographer: Jack Delano
Location: 101 Main St, Stem, NC
For the longest time, the general store was the centre of town of sorts. It wasn't just a place to buy food, it was a place to hang out. Be with your friends and chat. Not all of them had a pool table tough, as that would take up a lot of space, but many were roomy inside, so maybe they did.
Men will come to hide in here, hiding from chores or school work. Many others thought that a pool hall would bring trouble, that's right my friends trouble with a capital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for pool!
Often these stores would have a bench of some stools to sit on, but with a large pool table in the way, they must have removed them. People were left to sit on barrels, home made seats and I guess the pool table. But I bet it would be pretty hard to play with a rear on the table. Certainly didn't need a seventh hole.
Notice the rabbit wire on the window in the back, that may have been there to keep stray balls from hitting the cars and such. I believe that is the front of the store, so a ball could hit a curious customer looking through the window.

I customised and ordered 30 of these cards for my Mum, to be used as guest place cards on the birthday table at our local restaurant venue.
The design caught my eye while I was perusing all the samples, and thought it was a great novel idea for my steam train enthusiast Dad.
I chose the larger postcard sized one, as the font would be large for older eyes, and customised it keeping the Rail Ticket theme on the front, with venue address/date/time of party, and on the back I added another steam train and various 80 speed limit/rail signages. The trick is not to overdo it or it looks too busy. I also added at one end of the front side, a word of thanks from the birthday boy.
Champagne Shimmer was chosen for the finish and it suited the card so well, as it gave an glimmer of elegance and richness, loved it.
During the party, I had guests come up to me and say how much they liked this quirky card.
My Mum was ecstatic (she is hard to please at the best of times) and my Dad liked them very much also.
Upon leaving the party venue, I noticed that not one single card was left behind at our guest table.....so to me it spoke volumes, that the guests appreciated the cards enough to want to take them home as mementos.
I couldn't have wished for a better place card for Dad's 80th birthday party. Thanks Zazzle! Very happy with the finished product. Design turned out well, front and back.
I kept with original background and border colouring, which went extremely well with my choice of Champagne Shimmer for the finish. I kept to minimal colour pictures added on the back, they printed up very well. All crisp and clean. The cards looked a million dollars!

It was better than I could’ve ever imagined and so easy to create! Why spend hundreds of dollars to get a invitation company to produce something you can do yourself! Better than I could’ve ever imagined!
