Washington Township, Dallas County, Iowa

On the southwest corner (Colfax Township), Will Bazor built a 'tin shop' to construct and repair windmills.

[1] About 1934 John and Mart Sheaffer bought up all of the Co-operative association and became full owners of Panther Store.

On Saturday afternoons and on rainy days, the hitching racks filled up with teams as folks came for supplies.

[2] For a short while, a post office resided inside Panther store, where mail was held until picked up.

Robert Bentall recalls having a regular pigeon-holed rack where he would hold mail for friends to pick up at his house.
