Brothers Montgomery 'Gum' Turner (born 1866) and Ewell Turner (born 1870) founded the store, and Ewell ran the store for four years while Gum returned to Kentucky to settle his affairs and prepare to move his family to Oregon. Gum took charge of the mercantile business when he arrived back in Banks, about 1904.
