Looking back in Springfield: Peek inside a 1900s grocery store

Phillip Garber came with his family to Springfield from Pennsylvania when he was young prior to 1860. He worked as a carpenter and pattern maker in the early 1900s and around 1913 opened a grocery at 1552 Kenton Street, shown here around that time, which he operated for about ten years. For a short time, Fulmer’s took over the grocery before moving to a location further down the street and then the grocery was run by Paul Clippinger for a number of years.
