  1. I went to Lincoln Elementary for 1st grade do I knew The Little Store well. My buddy Todd and I walked from next to Rattlesnake To school. One day we went to The Little Store and got candy and ditched out to Greenough Park for the morning, in 1st grade. I got my hide tanned for that little stunt.

  2. I believe the guy who owned it [The Little Store] was Larry. Couldn’t see well. Went there for our Schmidt tall boys in my Maverick Grabber! Lol

  3. In the early 50’s this {The Little] store was run by an elderly couple. In the late 50’s a younger couple bought and ran it. The husband was a Highway Patrolman. He used to give the driving test for those applying for their first license. I went to Lincoln, Prescott and, as a freshman not old enough to drive, I caught the bus to high school next to this store.

    • The older couple was Tom and Amy and I think the younger couple was related to them. Her name was Dot, I can’t remember the highway patrol’s name. (Little Store-Rattlesnake) Stan was there a Shields involved at one time?

    • Johnson’s houses a laundromat or laundry service, now. I rode there frequently on my bike on errands for my folks, who had moved from near Franklin Park farther south on Kemp. I still frequently drive by the Johnson’s site. Used to buy penny candy at Serba’s. Dad and I stopped at Maclay Market on the way to fishing. Maclay sliced its own lunch meat and had terrific bologna we ate in our sandwiches while fishing.

  5. In regards to a couple of the family owned stores. Bolich’s market was first owned by my grandparents. It was Solum’s Grocery, my grandfather then opened a second store on the north side of Missoula. He also supplied homemade hot meals for the workers of the White Pine with the help of his brother. My grandparents were Otto and Nellie Solum and his brother was Adolph, affectionately known to us kids as Unk.

    • Solum’s on 10th was likely the first store I ever walked to. We Saylers lived on Kemp about a quarter block away when I was little. Rudy Weishaar had a store across the street. Sometimes, I would go to Bryson’s on 10th for my grandparents, the Bagleys on 12th.

  6. Use to stop by the 12th st. Grocery to buy beer when I was in high school. Sometimes they would send out a little kid to take my money.

  7. Does anyone have information about the Danker’s store on the corner of 5th and Ash Street? It’s a duplex now that we own, but would love to know more about the store itself and or the folks that owned it.

  8. I used to rent from Lillian Jamieson and had to go to her store to pay the rent. Everything in there was covered in dust. She was old–she worked there when she was in her 90s. Once a 15-year-old runaway kid from Bozeman tried to rob her and she slapped his BB gun right out of his hand.
