Our History

Keyserling’s Store Keyserling’s Store at Dale was a local landmark. Established during the days of phosphate mining in the Dale community, it operated as a post office and company store. It sold food staples (grits, bacon, sugar, coffee, etc.) and boots, shovels, hoes and chicken feed. There was also a vibrant credit business that enabled customers to purchase goods on time and pay back with interest. The locals referred to it as Kosoleen Sto. It is rumored that an old gent who patronized the store was heard to say “They been tree ting what gwine burn you, dat bee gasoleen, keroseen, and Kosoleen”. Mayor Billy and I still joke about that one. In later years the store was operated by Mr. Louis Albany who is famous in the region for his bone-in pork-chop sandwich. I’ve had the pleasure of many before and after a woodland adventure and recommend this epicurean delight to those who like down-home grub. Louis Albany now has a new modern store located next to the old one.*** According to Mr. Albany , other owners were Benton Glover and Mr Smith . Behind the store is "THE WHOPPER TABLE" shown in one of the slides on the right. We believe that some of the Biggest Whopper Stories have been told around this table. If you have a bigger or better whopper, come tell it *** Reprinted from the Beaufort Tribune
