H.G. Schell. Store located at intersection of W Bremer and 3rd St. SW (southwest lot). Business moved to this lot following construction of brick building. Later sold to Bill Chestnut and for many years known as the "Corner Market." As of 1989 is occupied by Gade's Appliances. Original postcard was postmarked July 27, 1911, so photo predates that.
Note: H.G. Schell built this building to contain his grocery store in 1908; he moved into it in October of that year. That would be a good guess for the date of this photo.
Additional photographs and resources can be found at the Waverly Public Library on the local and family history page http://www.waverlyia.com/public-library/research/local-and-family-history-collection.aspx Accession No. 89A0003
