Abstract:

The Farmer's Alliance Co-operative Store opened in 1888 in Siler City in Chatham County, and its purpose was to protect the interests of farmers by selling them goods at discounted prices. Now called the Farmers' Alliance Store, it was moved to its present site in 1907. Westbrook recounts the store's history.
