The JBG Store

My grandfather, known to everyone as "JBG," owned and operated this general store in Valley Mills, Texas from the 1930's until his death in the mid-1990's. JBG's most successful marketing tool was his claim that the store's water fountain produced "The Best Water in Texas." The pipe carrying water to the fountain ran through the meat locker, and the frigid water sure took the edge off of a 105 degree summer day in Central Texas.
