Ventis General Store
I found a white and blue ceramic rolling pin with the A.N. Ventis, General Merchandise, 1914 written in gold on it. Mom had it with some of her things I was looking at the other day and just wondered if any one else has a rolling pin, or has seen one like it. I don't remember ever hearing about the people or the store. Does anyone else know anything about these people? Census show all three were born in Iowa. Just thought the name would ring a bell with with someone that new a little history about the people.
