Interior of Burr Brothers' Cash Grocers - Main Floor.
Description
Burr Brothers' Grocers opened on N. Church St. in 1894, growing to have seven branches and mammoth trade. One of the largest and most beautiful stores in the Midwest, Burr Brothers sold rare delicacies such as imported nuts and fruits as well as handmade chocolates, ice cream, and imported cheeses. The meat department was the size of the store itself. Burr Brothers had multiple locations along Main and State Streets and even opened a sporting goods store. In this photograph, the candy counter is in the forefront with the cheese counter on the right and canned goods stacked throughout.
