John,
A feed store of that size would probably only have empties going out. Anything
mixed and bagged would probably have been for local consumption.
In my hometown in the 50's and 60's bagged feed would arrive in box cars. One
feed company had a small elevator where they could mix bulk feed. They also had
a store.
