Want to see what Pendery's World of Chiles And Spices used to look like just a few short years ago?!?!?! Thank you Traces of Texas for posting this little gem!!
Pendry Brothers store in Fort Worth, 1885. It's quite well stocked, don't y'all think? I see baking powder, a sign that reads "Chew Red Tin Tag Plugs," a cabinet with "Comet Coffee" written on it etc.. I'll bet some wild cowboys were known to step into this place. It's quite sharp considering how old it is and that it's an interior shot.
