Headed to the shore this weekend? One hundred years ago you might have stopped at the Waterman and Ewing grocery store once located at 42 W. Plant St., next door to Davis Pharmacy. You could have put together quite a picnic, judging by the shelves’ plentiful goods. Yesteryear’s grocery stores also delivered to people’s homes, and you can bet that they carried purchases out to your waiting automobile. Only 1 of the 4 gentlemen pictured has been identified: Earl Wayne Ewing (2nd from right) was part or full owner before selling the business to South Apopka Supply Co. and going into real estate. To identify the other men, call the Winter Garden Heritage Foundation at (407) 656-3244.
