During the early 1900's, Charles and Harriet Baker operated a general store and post office at this corner, and in addition to his duties as postmaster, Charlie delivered groceries by horse and wagon. The general store and neighboring house were removed in the early 1920s to make room for a small drug store, creamery, and real estate office. When the modern Sloan Building was built in 1928, James Hunter's pharmacy was one of its first tenants, and Mr. Hunter is shown in the interior of his store.
