In the carriage sits two persons, one in the front holding the reins, and one in the back. A third horse stands next to the carriage. Two men in hats stand in front of the open doorway of the store, two persons can be seen behind them standing inside. This "Star Route" mail wagon would have served Coralville and North Liberty in the 1890s. The store was owned and run by *Thomas Ross Hackett and John Williams; they ran the general store and distributed mail to the citizens of Coralville (Lovetinsky et al., p. 66; Walch, p. 40). The first Coralville Post Office was established in June 18, 1869. Lemuel G. Wilson was the first postmaster. In 1870, Alice Ott became the first postmistress. According to Lovetinsky et al., "The post office was discontinued on June 3, 1895, was re-established March 26, 1896 with John Davis as postmaster, and then was discontinued again on July 31, 1902" (p. 66). *The following note is included in this image's caption in Lest We Forget: "...The wooden double store and warehouse faced west on the bank of the Iowa River. Thomas Ross Hackett was proprietor and postmaster. Later the store half of the building was moved across the street and turned to face south. The move was made when the Interurban was built across the site of the store. It was used as a store until 1970" (p. 66). Given this information, it is possible that half of this double front store later became Wilson's Store, and then Koser's Store, which was in operation until 1970.

A two-story building with a front porch and a brick chimney, a giant mural is painted on the wall that states, "Fashionable Clothing, Coast & Sons Iowa City." A man sits on the front porch, his legs crossed. Several barrels sit on the porch with him; according to Lovetinsky, the barrels to the left contain vinegar and the ones on the opposite side of the door contain salt. The words, "Wilsons store, Coralville, Iowa," are written in white in the bottom lefthand corner. This general store was initially owned by Thomas Ross Hackett and John Williams, until about 1875. Edward Koser purchased the building in 1903 or 1904 and had it moved to the intersection of First Avenue and Fifth Street; Charles Wilson managed the store until 1914, when Edward Koser took over operations (Lovetinsky et al., p. 60; Walch, p. 40).

(1985) The Strip: An American Place. Lincoln, NE: University of Nebraska Press. Rex Brandstatter Subject The topic of the resource Groceries Business Stores, Retail Cars (Automobiles) Vehicles Outdoors Nineteen seventies [1970s] Description An account of the resource A large Randall's sign is placed near the top of a brick-walled building. An antenna pops up from behind the sign from its placement on the roof. A white Lincoln Continental parked next to the building sits over the diagonal lines of the parking lot. The car was owned by Randall's manager Marvin Dwight Hain, and was often seen in this spot. Randall's was a grocery chain throughout the Midwest. When Randall's bought out a grocery store named Smitty's in 1960, city residents took it as a certifiable sign that the Coralville Strip would continue to grow and attract big business names (Brandstatter).
