I have a photo of my maternal grandfather's "General Merchandise"
store at Rodeo, NM ca. 1900 with a sign above the door that says,
"General Merchandise C.W. Hopkins & Co." I also have one of my
mother's maternal great-grandfather's store in NM in a town that used
to be called Apache, ca. 1890. "J.W. Marken Mercantile." Both sides
of the maternal line homesteaded when NM was still a territory.

"If the soup had been as hot as the claret, if the claret had been as
old as the bird, and if the bird's breasts had been as full as the
waitress's, it would have been a very good dinner."
