DeWaters purchased the business from Francis Goble and in the early 1950’s purchased the building. They soon expanded it to include the area behind the building to the immediate south. At the time the building was Chuck Convert’s Barber shop. The DeWaters family served Three Oaks with the prototypical dry good store appropriately named “the Dime Store” until 1979.
