J.J. Dalglish and Company.
Biographical notes:
James Dalglish, a Canadian, came to Chloride, New Mexico through Minnesota in search of a dry climate. He had suffered from tuberculosis as a young man. Dalglish operated the store until 1897. He leased it to others for several years, and in 1908, he sold it to the U.S. Treasury Mining Company who used it as a commissary for their mining, ranching, and timber harvesting crews. In 1923, the owners closed the store, and boarded up the windows and doors, leaving all the furnishings and merchandise still inside. In 1989, Don and Donna Edmunds bought the store and have spent several years restoring the building and the furnishings, and have opened it as the Pioneer Store Museum.
