  1. Buying and selling was very common in this district long ago. The people used to gather together and sell the things in town or in a country house. Some of the people bought on tick which means without money. In that time clothes were bought on the street and they were not as good as the clothes we buy now in the shops. Long ago it was very hard to sell animals because nobody would give a good price for them. It was the woman who did the selling and the men worked in the houses.
