Mary and Dale Channel (on the left) are pictured with James and Mary Sheppeard. The two couples purchased the Hy-Klas Food Store in Rossville, Kansas, in 1964. The Channels bought out Sheppeard's share about a year later. This photograph is provided through a pilot project to host unique cultural heritage materials from local libraries on Kansas Memory and was accomplished by mutual agreement between the Northeast Kansas Library System, the Rossville Community Library, and the Kansas Historical Society.
