David Bowen (far left), Garland Rivers Bowen (wearing the white hat), A. McIver Bowen (to Garland’s left), and Edward Bowen (far right, Garland’s son) pose with tobacco prepared for an upcoming sale. The photograph was taken inside the new tobacco warehouse near Highway 52, built after the previous warehouse burned. The Bowen family played an active role in promoting the tobacco industry, supporting the local tobacco market, and contributing to the growth of their community.
