EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Marion Post Wolcott takes us back to the cotton plantation area of Melrose, Louisiana in 1940. The image showcases a bustling crossroads store that serves as a bar, "juke joint" and gas station all in one. The signs adorning the building offer a glimpse into the vibrant atmosphere of this rural community. From the Regal - Prince of Golden Beers to Whiskey, Beer Garden, Hires R-J Root Beer, NEHI, Drink Jax - Best Beer in Town, Barbeque and Cold Beer, Frenchies Bar, Coca-Cola, and Quality Ice Cream – it's evident that this establishment catered to various tastes and preferences. The scene captures not only the architecture but also the spirit of America during this time period. It reflects an era when people sought entertainment outside their homes and gathered at local joints like these for socializing and relaxation. Wolcott's photograph beautifully portrays a slice of regional life with its rustic charm. The presence of men around the filling station adds depth to the narrative while reminding us of their role in maintaining these essential services. As we delve into this still image from history preserved by Wolcott's lens, we are transported to an era where small-town shops served as more than just places for commerce; they were cultural hubs that brought communities together.
