General Merchandise

Small towns and rural areas often supported general stores which carried a broad selection of products. Many would carry basic food items and "dry goods." Although dry goods originally referred to textiles and clothing, the distinction between these kinds of stores and general merchandise, and even grocery stores, often blurred. Stores that sold appliances and carried or special ordered other products for customers were sometimes considered General Stores.
