Mr Lemon built this as two buildings in 1911. Mr Chas Horwitz then proceeded to make these two buildings into one.
This building was then purchased from Mr. Horwitz in March of 1921.

This business was opened as a partnership by W.M. Hock, Abe Packer and Myer Spector on March 25, 1921. Groceries, dry goods, men's, ladies and children's ready to wear each had its own department. A big feature of old time country stores, was to hang light goods inside the store and in the entrance. Self-service stores were unheard of in the early days of operation.

The first enlargement of the building was in 1935 when the original building was extended 20 feet. In 1942 an additional 20 feet was added.

The grocery section was discontinued in 1964 and the store was modernized extensively. The store then was utilized for clothing, dry goods and sundry items.

Hocks Mens and Boys Wear was a spin off from the former Hock and Packer store. This was owned and operated by Lloyd and Kayla Hock, son and daughter in law of Max and Reva Hock. This was operated out of the north half of the store. This business ran until December 31,1980 when it closed its doors, after almost 60 years of service to the community.

Pat Phillips, a former employee of Hock's undertook a new business venture in 19 * called Fashions for Him and Her, until 1998, when Lloyd Hock moved his flooring business into the north side of the building.
The south portion of the store has housed many different businesses, including Hock's Flooring, Country Crafts, Designs by Ann, Snow White Clothing (Video? )

The building is presently housing The Source and Silhouette Ladies Wear, owned and operated by Larry and Sandy Guran.
