Barry Monroe returned to Kruse Feed & Supply for the first time in 52 years after he had heard the store was closing its doors. When he was 15 years old he bought his first car from the store's owner for ten dollars. 'I had to see it one more time before it goes away,' said Monroe of the store that was closing its doors in part because of the souring American economy.
