  1. (continued from previous page)
    goods were not bought in town. Some of them were purchased in the country shops. A big trade was often done on Sundays and holidays when the old people met and had a good chat over a friendly treat.
    Some poor people got their goods on tick. Other times the goods were got in exchange for eggs and potatoes or corn. Often people had to work in return for goods.
