The Kessler store closed in February 1969. Edward and Margaret “Marge” Kessler had purchased the variety store business from Nona B. The corner Jacob Wein building, now occupied by The Coffee House at Chestnut and Pine, was occupied in 1949 by Kessler's Five and Dime store. Earlier they had operated at other spots in the downtown area. The McCormacks operated their business in that spot from the 1940s until 1966. The rear portion of Floyd and Florence McCormack’s popcorn wagon is seen next to the lamppost at the lower left. That paper, which had been started in 1881, was purchased by the Standard Democrat in May 1955, at which time the paper's name was changed to Standard-Press.
