Description

(Coal Mining) Company Stores

In the West Virginia Coal Fields, you would almost always find a Company Store located near each coal mine. The Company Stores were stores owned and operated by the coal mining companies. Typically, during the early years that the Company Store was the only store in the coal mining town, as the town itself was quite literally owned by the coal company.
