Frank Cable had been the sole owner of the store he and Curd Fisher had
operated since 1925. Officially, the store sold meat, groceries,
shoes, clothing, and animal feed. Cable allowed the
immigrant families to buy items on credit and pay when their paychecks
were received ; in addition, the store became an unofficial
"bank" for the immigrant population who were uncomfortable
with Hannibal's banks.. |
