Second Photo Herman Rock Store

[Mary Zucker]

I have a second photo that is wide but small; probably an amateur photographer. It had been folded in half. It is a large building in the middle of flat lands with a horse drawn cart in front. The building may have been converted from a barn to a store. There are two signs visible. We have put them under a microscope and this is what we can best determine.

Sign 1
SKLEP TOW MIESZANYCH
WYSZYNK PIWA, WINA
HERMAN ROCK

Translation into Polish
STORE SCRATCH < BLEND > BEER WINE (BLAME) TOW WYSZYNK
HERMAN ROCK

Sign 2
Very hard to read. What I think I'm seeing in the first two lines:
POSTERINER PF
W SWR VS
There are other lines, but they are not legible.

We are hoping the photo can provide some clues regarding where the Zucker family lived in the 20th Century. They gave their country of origin as Austria-Galicia. They may have been in Krakow, and/or Majdan Gorny as well. They were in the "spirits" business; they might have been brewers as well as sellers.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Mary Zucker

Hi Marek and other Listers,

Thank you for the help regarding the Herman Rock Store. I have gotten a
tremendous amount of help from Wojceiech Beszcznski. I have been working on
a composite of the results for both of the photos I mentioned initially.
Other matters have taken up my time and I have not gotten back to the List
with the results. I am hoping that I can do this very soon.

All help is very much appreciated.
