Pwenner: This is an early Brunswick family photo of Garland Alder. An inscription wrote that "his father ran a jewelry store in Brunswick." That was Frank Alder's store on Middle Street in the old town between the tracks and river in the 1890s. Alder's General Store sold "jewelry, especially railroad watches, and confections." F.E. Alder's successor was J.E. Moore, who operated in more than one location on W. Potomac Street. Here is a link to Alder's Store, c. 1895: https://www.facebook.com/photo...
