The big closing out sale of the Willard Com- pany store is progress- ing rapidly and within a short time one of the old- est established grocery and general merchandise stores in Northern Cal- ifornia will have passed out of existence. There are many people living in Red Bluff and the vicinity who started trading at the store when it was first es- tablished in Red Bluff in 1896 when it occupied a very small room of what is now one of the warehouses of the present store. Most of these customers are still patrons of the store. — June 6, 1915 100YEARSAGO...
