- (continued from previous page)There was no rush - now all the world seems to be on wheels.
At the Market Houses groceries were purchased. Now the [?] take groceries & sell each time such articles as Tea - Sugar - Candles, Soap. matches. etc.There was a famous old Pedlar who used to travel this district in ancient times; named 'Mick the Pedlar'.
He was a kind of travelling shop - and very probably was the original model of the "new travelling shops".
Mick used to cater well for Country people. He (it seems) used to sell tobacco, matches, laces, safety pins, and "a few other (I do not know them) useful articles"
He afterward died in the Bantry Union, about 30 years ago.
