<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mansons2005, post: 224504, member: 121&quot;]The only semblance of a &quot;department store&quot; in Naples, Florida (or on all of Collier County for that matter) from the 1920s through the 1950s was Grants. Well, that and SunShine Hardware, which sold more &quot;general store&quot; type stuff. Your garden variety machetes, shotgun shells, kerosene for/and lamps and stoves (no natural or bottled gas), dried rations, gutting knives, snake bit kits and alligator &quot;loops&quot;......................</p><p><br /></p><p>The only clothing stores in town were only open from Thanksgiving until Easter (the season). And the Quonset hut that doubled as the movie theatre was only open on alternate weekends and the county council had to pre-approve the movies before they could be shown to the public..........[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
