General Store in "Death Drag" in "Death Drag" (Location)

The narrative says that Captain Warren met Jock "coming out of the store," but it doesn't say what kind of store it is (193). The most likely interpretation is that in this case the "store" is where Jones, "the secretary of the Fair Association," works (188); the last we saw of Jock before Warren meets him he was walking down the street looking for "Jones's office" (190). A "Fair Association" would organize events like the barnstorming show Jack and the others want to put on. But that doesn't exactly explain how an office could also be a store. This is one of those places that call attention to one of the challenges of turning Faulkner's art into data.
