San Anselmo Marin County California Vonderheide And Mingst Store 1909 Real Photo Postcard

Vonderheide & Mingst operated as a typical early 20th-century general store or grocer, offering Fancy Groceries alongside Wines Liquors. Such establishments were integral community hubs, providing a wide array of goods from daily necessities to specialty items, reflecting the local economy and consumer demands of the era. The presence of explicit signage for alcohol sales suggests the postcard likely predates the Prohibition era (1920-1933) in the United States, or depicts a location where such sales remained legal.
