Here is a peak inside the Eatonville Lumber Company store around 1942. If you look closely you can see a crack in the glass case, which looks like it’s full of Coke bottles. Pat Van Eaton says as a little kid he was always worried that if he touched that cracked case it would shatter.
As you can see, there was a little bit of everything for sale here, including dry goods.

[…] The Eatonville Lumber Company sold more than wood. Back then it was a general store — you could buy everything from food to clothes. (Click on the link and you can take a look inside the store.) […]

That picture brings back many memories! During our upper grade school years many of us boys would meet just west of the mansion were a small open field provided a great place to play football or baseball. We would play until the mill whistle blew. In my case it was a ride home. Also the picture inside the mill store reminds me of those 5 cent scoops of ice cream and pop. For 15 cents you could buy a double scoop of ice cream and a pop. Also at the top of the stairway they had an assortment of model airplane kits that were popular with many of us boys. Thanks for the memories!
