Location of company store

[NW Mailing List]

That is the Lick Branch store at Switchback, WV.  It is similar to 
Boissevain because both stores were built by Pocahontas Fuel Co.

The present location is a large concrete slab which is on your left as you 
are on US 52 driving from Elkhorn to Maybeury.  On you right, about a 1/2 
mile before the store is the old Elkhorn High School.
