It's not a story they'd put in a school textbook.

Not the story -- the place. I think most people would refer to the area as Hickory or Canonsburg. I have definitely heard of company stores before, probably in school textbooks.

Cool. Labor history tends to get short shrift in school textbooks, they're all made in Texas lately.
