The General Store Artist: David More, Red Deer, AB Size: 1452 sq. ft. 1990 Jacob Miller’s General Store and Post Office was a significant landmark in Stony Plain for many years. Jacob Miller (large portrait in centre) was a prominent businessman, postmaster, and the town’s second mayor (1909-19 12). Beside his portrait on the left is the post office front as it looked in 1928. The right side of the mural shows the interior of the store. The cash system used in the store consisted of a number of pulleys. The clerks would pulley the money up to the accountant on the top floor who would make the change and pulley the money back down again.
