Benke took this photograph of the R & G Olp department store with its Maytag washing machines on display on the sidewalk. Robert Olp had worked at a hardware store and then the People's Savings Bank, opening the R & G Olp department store in time to be listed in the 1909 city directory. The store was located on the corner of North Eighth and Buffalo Streets. The building was later purchased in the mid-1930's for Westphal's Hardware Store. Currently (1995) the building houses the Antique Mall.
