I don't have a nice spreadsheet, and I've listed some of these by address and some by chain, but it'll do for now. I didn't really go before 1930 but the Cloverdale stores that were acquired by First National were probably just a few years old. SuperPlace was Sweet Life's retail banner; they had bought out Fairbanks (a longtime wholesale customer) in late 1984.
