James Fuller's Seddon store in 1906. He was in direct opposition to the Lamberts next door, but in a much bigger way. He, too, opened his premises in 1899. As a general storekeeper he stocked almost everything - groceries, clothing, footwear, Manchester, furnishings, tools, farm machinery, fencing posts, No. 8 wire, and more. His store has an impressive appearance, with its rolled iron veranda of striped panels. 2009.067.0050
