This image shows the interior of Boone Drug Store on King Street in Boone, NC, in September 1981 before a book signing by Professor Rogers Whitener of the Department of English at Appalachian State University (1967-current). Customers can be seen sitting in the soda fountain in the background. Signs read, "Special Paperback Books 50% off," "Many a tombstone inscription is a grave error," "Rogers Whitener Signing Party Here Sat. Sept. 26, 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM," and "An Ounce of Example is worth a Pound of Advice!" Whitener was signing copies of "Selections from 'Folk-Ways and Folk-Speech'" (North Carolina Folklore Journal, vol. 29, no. 1, spring-summer 1981).
