Built in 1924, C.A. Bower and Son Grocery served the Monterey area for more than 50 years. Nearby, a 10-cent store offered notions, clothing, and toys. Monterey Hardware Co., owned by partners Dr. L.P. and Maggie Speck and M.B. and Sallie Sehon, stocked a large hardware inventory that included paint, sporting goods, farming implements, tools, and dynamite.
