Peter Rivard, owner of Rivard’s Bargain Store in Daggett, is shown on the front porch of the business when it opened in 1940. Rivard sold clothing, used furniture and miscellaneous household items. The Rivards raised 14 children and many of the family members still live in the area. The building remains, next to the Boulevard Bar. The business was sold to Louie Machalk in the early 1950s.

Eli’s Standard Service and Cabins on U.S. 41 in Powers was owned by Eli Bellefeuil when this photo was taken in 1945. The business features Standard Oil gasoline and seven rental cabins behind the service station. The business was located across U.S. 41 from where the Stephenson Marketing Convenience Store is located today. The business was later sold to Louis Fazer who operated it with his family from 1953 to 1967. It was sold to Don Hanson who operated it for 12 years. In 1979 it was sold to Gary Hanson and closed in early 2000s. The empty service station remains but the cabins were removed and the home was replaced.
