Welty's General Store was first established in a log cabin just outside the town of Dubois, Wyoming in 1889 by Frank A. Welty.  The store was placed next to the homestead cabin of his father, Dr. Francis Welty.  In 1897 George Hays and Huey Yeomans built a general store in Dubois.  Welty purchased the store in 1898 and moved his operation into town, dismantling the first store and appending it to the new store.  Both buildings were of log construction with an earth roof.

The Congress of American Women was an American women's rights organization.  It was founded in New York on March 8 (International Women's Day) 1946 following a 1945 feminist conference in Paris.  Its primary organizer was Elinor S. Gimbel (wife of Louis S. Gimbel, Jr., grandson of Adam Gimbel of Gimbels department store).  It was affiliated with the Soviet sponsored organization Women's International Democratic Federation.  In 1948 the organization was accused of being a communist front organization by the House Un-American Activities Committee and was forced to register as a "subversive" organization.  The organization was finally dissolved in 1950.  Among its members were anthropologist Gene Weltfish, aviator Jacqueline Cochran, educator Charlotte Hawkins Brown, and author and artist Muriel Draper. Sutherland's Drug Store is a small family-owned drug store in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada.  The company was established in Fort McMurray, Alberta by Angus Sutherland in 1918 and expanded into the Yellowknife gold fields during the rush in 1938.  Its first store was located in Old Town Yellowknife and was managed by Walter Hill and Keith Miller.  The store closed during the war but reopened and expanded following the post-war gold boom.  In 1948, the Old Town store was physically moved to the new downtown development and a second store was built in Old Town.  Two stores were run by the chain into the 1950s.  In 1951, Doug and Wilma Finlayson and A.L. Blackberg bought the Sutherland chain following the death of Angus Sutherland.  In 1954, the Old Town store closed; in 1956, the current downtown store was built and the original store brought up from Old Town years previous was rented to commercial tenants.  Sutherland's Drug Store continues to operate today in its expanded storefront and successfully competes with larger department stores in Yellowknife.

Dunn Brothers Coffee is a franchise company of coffeehouses founded in St. Paul, Minnesota, in December 1987 by brothers Ed and Dan Dunn.  The first store was opened on Grand Avenue in St. Paul, after the brothers had driven an old Dodge van loaded with their belongings from Portland, Oregon, to Minnesota in search of a good, underserved location for a coffee business.  They found a refurbished 1950s Probat roaster in Cincinnati, Ohio, and used it to set up that first store.  The second location opened in Uptown Minneapolis in 1991 (and was temporarily the only location while the Grand Avenue store was rebuilt following a 1991 fire). Anders Rudolph Rude (October 25, 1812 in Copenhagen – May 21, 1883 in Georgetown, Texas) was a Danish-American Lutheran minister and theologist.  Having graduated from the University of Copenhagen he emigrated to the United States of America in 1836, arriving in Boston.  He settled in Virginia and graduated again from the Gettysburg seminary and was ordained as a minister in Woodstock, Virginia.  He married Anne Steenbergen "née" Caperton, and took over the administration of the plantation of her late husband located at Locusts Grove in Shenandoah County, Virginia.  There he built a church on the hill which was later to take his name, Rude's Hill.  During the American Civil War he lost everything as the plantation came to be used as the headquarters for General Stonewall Jackson in 1862.  He lost his wife and daughter as the Confederate and Union forces struggled over the Shenandoah Valley from 1862 to 1864.
