October 1967: C & H Company

This photo from the Alabama Archives shows vendors and shoppers on the south side of the square during First Monday in October 1967. This photo was from photographer Jim Peppler’s Souther Courier photograph collection. This is the only photo we have found that shows C & H Company, the first business in this space, which, according to the ad below, sold clothing for the entire family.
