Title
Busy interior of Bennett's Sweet Shop & Soda Fountain
Description
Black and white image showing the busy interior of a shop with a soda fountain on one side and a candy counter on the other. Three women in white uniforms and hats serve customers at the soda fountain while a man in an apron and hat waits on customers at the candy counter. Originally located on Third Avenue in Hillsboro, the Bennett's relocated to Main Street when the owner of the newly renovated Hill Theater asked them move into one side of the theater and sell snacks to movie goers. The two young men at the candy counter are identified in museum records as Ray and Gene Rothstrom, while the man at the fountain counter is Gene Ruecker, at one time the mayor of Hillsboro. The middle woman behind the counter is Mary Jane Kovaly, while Joyce Hartrampf runs the soda machine.
