C.1910 Hugus Store in Axial, Colorado. Hugus stores were a local chain like small versions of a Wal-Mart with locations throughout NW Colorado (Craig, Hayden, Steamboat, Axial, Fourmile etc.). Axial (pronounced “axle”) was a small community on today’s Hwy 13 about 5 miles north of Rio Blanco County. Notice the cat on the porch roof. Museum of Northwest Colorado/Courtesy photo
