    Buying and Selling in olden times.
    There were no shops in olden times. Stories were the most common. The people had to go to the next town to make their purchases.
    There was no buying and selling carried on after Mass.
    Goods were not always bartered in this district. Markets were held in former times.
    There were no pedlers who visited this district in former times.
    They do not come not either.
    There are no stories about coins which always returned to their owners.
