Waverly Newspaper. The corner store was built most likely about 1865. It has been standing on the corner with no notice of replacement since the newspapers were available. The police station was once in the basement. According to stories it is supposedly made from local which was soft, thus the stucco finish added for protection. True or not? [Guy] Coles Clothing located at #101 in 1945. Meine Kettner opened his clothing store in 1950 and remained for 16 years. Fish Magnavox occupied the corner store from 1978 to 1995 when ill health forced Virgil Fish to close his business. #103 was a shoe store repeatedly: Grassfield's, Hoy, Halverson's, Doug's, Heidt's. The spell was broken in 1988 when an office supply store moved in.
