The staff at Roses Department Store are shown on opening day in 1955. This building on West Main Street in Christiansburg replaced an earlier structure that was destroyed by fire. Notice the sign over the door advertising the modern way of shopping: “No Waiting the Self Service Way.” (This photo is from the D. D. Lester Collection.
