What a congested little place!  This grocery store was the first Table Supply, and thus it proved to be the pioneer Winn-Dixie, according to a note on the photo.  The business was located in Miami in 1925.  The men are Frank (a butcher, on the extreme left), Arkie Elrod (a cashier, second from left), James E. Davis (a son of W. M. Davis, third from left), Snead (a stock boy, fourth from left), Artemus Darius Davis (a son of W. M. Davis, fifth from left), and W. M. Davis (the store's founder, at the far right).  (The source of these identities was the book Don't Make A & P Mad, by J. E. Davis, published by J. E. Davis, c. 1990.)
