JIM: The history of the White Cash Markets

JIm traces the business from its original owner and the man who named it, Roland Baldwin, to the years with Chester Hatcher and Roy Owen, later just Roy Owen, and still later the partnership and chain store years with L.H. Gore and Pete Walker, the final years from 1954 to 1959 when the store was operated solely by Pete Walker.

By Jim

In the summer of 1940, owner Roland Baldwin moved his Baldwin Cash Market from the building now designated 134 Public Square to the Bradshaw Building, diagonally across the square. Shortly afterward, Roy Owen, who not too long before had settled in Columbia with his Adair County wife Gladys, nee Ingram, and Adair Countian Chester Hatcher, then working at S.C. Bybee's grocery on Campbellsville Street, joined forces to open the White Cash Market in the old Baldwin location.
