Country stores like this one in the Salters community of Williamsburg County, S.C., are a dying breed.
Kingstree photographer Linda W. Brown writes that J.A. Ferrell opened a store in his Salters home in 1880.
“Some years later, he built this building on the edge of his property and moved the store operations there. He continued to run the store until his death in 1918. Three other merchants have operated a general store on the premises. The last, Frank Moseley, closed the store in 1990.”
