  1. Bartering
    Mr. Brown, an old employer in Tallow never paid money as wages. He was a corn merchant and lived in West St. in the year 1860.
    When paying his men each evening, he gave a lb of meal for each member in the family. Each evening as the men left the store, it was easy to know the one that had a large family, and the one that had only a few to provide for.
    Sometimes a father and son worked together in the corn store then that evening, both brought home a double amount of meal to the people at home who were eagerly waiting for their supper.
