EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1942, we are transported back to a small town in Bantam, Connecticut. The image showcases Charley Dempsey, an African American man who is diligently selling groceries at the First National Store. As we observe him behind the cash register, it becomes evident that he possesses a sense of pride and dedication towards his work. The interior of the store exudes a timeless charm with its wooden shelves stocked full of various products. A woman can be seen standing nearby, perhaps contemplating her purchase while holding a bottle of milk. The mid-century ambiance is further enhanced by the presence of an unidentified boy eagerly buying groceries. Photographer Howard R. Hollem skillfully captures this slice of Americana during wartime North America. Through his lens, we glimpse into a simpler time when local stores were not just places to buy goods but also served as community hubs where people connected with one another. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate the significance of small businesses like the First National Store in fostering connections within their communities. It serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging times, individuals like Charley Dempsey played vital roles in keeping society running smoothly through their hard work and commitment to serving others.
