4. PO.661.0001 - Smith's Department Store, North Bend. Prop Jay J Smith, purchased March 1921. Formerly "Kash Savin' Store" owned by Tom Terhune. Located on NW Corner of N Bendigo St and W 2nd Ave. The store is a one story building with a covered sidewalk the full length of the store. Windows with small glass panes are the length of the store. There are two cars parked in the street, one facing each way. They are of the 1920 Models. This was originally known as the "Kash Savin' Store" and that name was engraved in the sidewalk just outside the corner entrance. The store was bought by Jay J. Smith of Alaska in March of 1921 from Tom Terhune. Business boomed; the store was enlarged and re-named as shown in the photo. Inherited with the store were the services and popularity of Mrs. Ethal Phillips, the jeweler's wife. She was a capable clerk, prominent in the local affairs, notably the Ladies Aid Society. Photo shows Jay J. Smith on left, Bob Tibbets clerk and delivery truck and another sedan probably Eden's. NOTE: Store's reflection is in giant mud puddle on dirt road. The store was sold somewhere around 1943 to the Larry Platt family; he operated it for several years. It later became the sight for Sears-Roebuck. (There is a typewritten story in the North Bend Scrapbook.)

The x is home of JJ Smith, owner of Smith's Department Store. 8 x 10" black and white glossy The house with the X: Smith's first home in North Bend,Washington. The photo is a view of the main street, dirt road, looking north, about 1922. Buildings, left to right with Mt. Si in the background: Extreme left: Pike's North Bend Tire Shop, later bought, moved back, and remodeled by J. J. Sucke Next: (across street) The Joyner Boarding House. Directly across the street from Smith's Store Next: Joe Boxley's rental. Rented by the Smiths. Next: Joe Voxley's residence. Next: North Bend Garage, owned and operated by Phil Churchill, when he wasn't racing his Scripps-Booth racer Bob Davis, I believe, was the mechanic who towed the racer to the races. No trailer in those days; just a 15' steel tow bar. One trip to Portland, Bob commented that the mileage on the Marmon tow car was ten miles more than the mileage on the racer. How come? Phil thought that over and concluded, "I must have cut the corners with the Scripps." The photo looks as if it were taken from the roof or from the second story of McClellan's Hotel. (The information given with the picture.)
