Morris Gordin (1885-1957) moved with his family to Summerton sometime after 1930 and opened M. Gordin, which sold dry goods, shoes, ladies and men’s ready-to-wear clothing. After Morris’s death in 1957, his son David Gordin (1928-2013) inherited the store, which was subsequently known as Gordin’s Dry Good Store. Ruth Furse assumed day-to-day management until its closure in 1982.
