Description:A Guam merchant named Flores stands proudly in front of his store. Behind him his sign testifies to the situations in the tides of war. When the Japanese seized the island, they forced tradesmen to change their English signboards, advertising their marquees in Japanese. Following the recapture of the island of Guam, Flores dug out the cement allowing the original sign 'Flores Trading Company' to appear again. National Archives.
