- Buying and Selling
Long ago there were no fairs. If a man wanted to buy a horse he would go where the horse was.
Friday was always supposed to be the lucky day for buying anything. The man who bought the home from the other man would repay him by giving him a token - so many cattle or anything the man would ask for. In the early ages when the country people got groceries, instead of paying money they gave the produce of their farms to the shopkeepers.
