081507 acc elvis 22 Staff Photo by Gary Coronado/The Palm Beach Post 0041321A With Story by Rachel Sauer--Tupelo, Mississippi--A portrait of Elvis Presley hangs above guitars sold amongst hardward supplies at Tupelo Hardware in Tupelo, Mississippi. In 1946, Elvis' mother, Gladys, brought him here to buy a bicycle. He saw a 22-caliber rifle and he asked his mother to buy it. She wasn't happy about purchasing him a gun so they compromised on a guitar. Forest Bob sold the guitar to Elvis for $7.90.
