Workday Wednesday-Withem Grocery

Currently a vacuum repair store this used to be Withem Grocery in Ashdown, Arkansas.  My Uncle Ernie Withem owned and ran it for years.  I recall on our family trips  to Ashdown to visit my fathers family during the 70's and 80's we would sometimes stop by the store.  The building is much smaller than I remember and is missing the fuel pumps that used to be out in front.

Thanks to Google maps.

Workday Wednesday- Clyde Webb at work

A few weeks ago I was going through some old pictures with my parents and we came across this picture.  I always remember my mother mentioning that her father was a salesman and was often away from home.  I don't ever remember them talking about his pre-salesman life. 

Before his traveling salesman days, he was an electrician.  Here is a picture of him at work.  I have no idea when or where this was taken.  Notation on back says "C. L. at work I did not know he took this one." I don't know who wrote this or who 'he' refers to.
