KY Hwy 80 East - Russell Springs - Russell County - Kentucky Photo Taken through the Glass of a Moving Vehicle Saturday_26-April-2014 The Fonthill General Store and Post Office https://ibb.co/8nBCC0wm" rel="nofollow">  Located on KY76East between KY80 and KY910 on the South side of KY80 and the South side of KY76. 37.082840°N 85.001564°W Elev. 947' The Camera is on KY Hwy 80 East. That is KY Hwy 76, just barely missing the corner of the front porch, passing between the store and the house beyond. The Cumberland Parkway is just beyond the far barns in the background. Recent Street View shows this store building to be up on steel and being seriously strengthened and restored. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fonthill,_Kentucky" rel="nofollow -

Creelsboro - Russell County - Kentucky Saturday_26-August-2023 Rotating Bolt Bin inside Creelsboro Country Store https://ibb.co/FLzp5jSD" rel="nofollow">  I believe this cabinet and many like it were built for and supplied by the hardware company that supplied the bolts. If a store owner made a large enough initial purchase of bolts, one of these cabinets was provided at no extra cost; the hardware company made enough profit on that initial purchase to absorb the cost of the cabinet. Once the cabinet was in place, then a route salesman would come by occasionally and replenish the stock. Most such stores were out of the reach of telephone lines and their only contact with suppliers were the U.S.Mail and route salesmen. 36.885044°N 85.197990°W Elevation 631' 36° 53' 6.16"N 85° 11' 52.76"W Look at the circular sawmill marks in that rough-sawn Oak floor(or it could be extinct Chestnut).
