NOTE:
Christopher Arnaud ran B & G Jost throughout his life. The general store was integral to the life of the town and surrounding area, selling all manner of food, construction supplies, hardware, clothing, sporting goods and school supports, as well as providing credit as needed in this struggling economy.
The magnificent 1890 store that he inherited was burned to the ground in a spectacular fire in December 1927. In 1929 Christopher built the fourth Jost’s store, a very functional, smaller, less-showy building.
