Black and white view of a building on Third Avenue.
Caption: The Ernest Schink Grocery Store operated between 1910 and 1923 was at the corner of Queen Street and Third Avenue. The operating sales area extended from the small canopy on the lower left along Queen Street (all the windowed area) and along Third Avenue, the dark area also glassed. (The lower building to the right was not owned.) The left half of the upper floor, in later years, was our living area, entered by a stairway at the canopied entrance. There was large basement in which perishable groceries were stored in winter. (Supplies from the "outside" came in by steamer only during the months May 20 - Oct 20.) The whole was heated by a boiler in the bsement, fueled by wood. The right hand upper floor (two upstairs windows to the right) was kept at a low temperature 35 to 40 F, for storage, during the winter months (Oct 20 - May 20), of the inventory of eggs.
