Stiner's Store: 1933
November 1933. "E.H. Elam making interviews at Stiner's Store, Lead Mine Bend, Tenn. Selections for employment with the TVA are made on the basis of ability and efficiency." The vast hydroelectric and flood control project overseen by the Tennessee Valley Authority was one of the New Deal programs enacted under the Roosevelt Administration. Photo by Lewis Hine.

Rockwellesque
Seems like a scene straight from Norman Rockwell's paintbrush. I wonder if it was just by chance that everyone hudding around the heater for warmth created almost perfect stage blocking for the camera man.

Products
Tin signs on the back wall advertise Thedford's Black Draught (a senna laxative compound) and Wine of Cardui (potash and salt with 20% alcohol, for menstrual relief). Both were products of the Chattanooga Medicine Company, and steady sellers since the 1880s.
