Symmes history gives us that In the 1930’s, Blong’s General Store opened on the corner of Montgomery and Blong Roads. Once, the site of a general store built around 1900, it served as a community gathering place for the still largely farming community. The store survived significant changes in the American market place. By the 1930’s, Americans were already purchasing canned food goods, but the Blong’s General Store likely also sold locally produced goods. During the Depression, chain grocery stores began opening providing goods at prices cheaper than local general stores could provide. The 1940’s and 1950’s brought an increase in national brand name goods. General stores, such as Blong’s, could no longer sell locally produced goods as customers expected brand names. Blong’s General Store survived the transition and remained open until 1983.
The above son Thomas Harper Blong in turn had a son Thomas Harper Blong II, who owned a business (without an email) in 2010
