This is a photo of Jesse Gasses, Sr. He owned Gasses Department Store on the McDonough Square. Mrs. Willie Varner correctly identified the photo and added that she received her first line of credit at Gasses Department Store. Buddy Upchurch wrote, “this is Jesse Gasses Sr. in his clothing store on the McDonough Square. I’m guessing this picture was taken in the late 50s. The location is now occupied by Gritz Restaurant.”
