My memory of Sales Mangers Offices from the '50s and 60's of IHC-JD and AC as they were the ones I most often frequented was a cornor Door entering into an area of about 8'X 8' enclosed by at least one wall and maybe 3 walls of which the top half was Glass,the better to see who was entering the dealership so the Saleman could make a fast exit or else greet the prospective customer and make a quick sale.IHC Dealers of that era generally had the Prototype Building of IHC Corp. design. JD and AC Dealers generally had a Office/Showroom area simmilar to IHC in that Walls of Glass were used liberally.My memory of the Rural Country Store comes from trips to Kentucky to visit Grand Parents as a child . Seems that every Cross Road had a store or two.I remember Merrimac Ky.had three stores and each sold like goods. I remember the interior Walls were mostly Wall Papered over Boards probably with shelves on all walls and many different containers such as Wooden Barrels to hold the items for sale.One Store I remember vividly had a long shelf with many pairs of Ladies High Button shoes on it,Racks of Sun Bonnets and other Racks of Ankle Length Dresses with long Sleeves,mens Bib Overalls and so many other things for sale it is hard to imagine now how they crammed so much into these small stores.
