It’s the end of an era in the retail world for sure. One of Oregon’s oldest family stores announced they’re calling it quits after 123 years of business.

He started a general store for residents in the area and he sold things like “furniture, bedding, rugs, paints, musical instruments, and even provided undertaking services.”
