Description: Originally from Sweden, M. M. Berg had this general store built by Gust Carlson and Ed Johnson in 1903 Turlock, California. This was one of the first to have large display windows and a wooden sidewalk in front of the store. Note the elevated one in the foreground. General merchandise could include not only such items as groceries, clothing, furniture but also buggies and farm equipment. The serrated cutting bars of the reapers can be seen displayed beside the store while the metal driver's seat, typical of farm machinery of this time period, is visible in the foreground.
