Ed. note: The old San Juan General Store. Not sure where this old store was, photo courtesy of Lee Russell. I know one thing, though, gas sure cost a lot less. By the looks of the gas pumps and the dress worn by the woman, I’m guessing this photo was taken circa early 1940s. Anyone with any info on the store, location and time frame, please call The Advance News Journal at (956) 783-0036 and ask for newspaper janitor Gregg Wendorf. Thanks.
