The pedlars that used be travelling long ago, used sell, pins, needles, laces, and a skein of thread. They used buy old clothes and bottles. They used give a half penny for a bottle, and they used give a shilling for a small bag of rags. There used be hugsters shops in this district long ago. They were small shops the people had, and they used sell, one oz tea, ½ lb sugar, laces, tobacco, suff, hair pins, needles and soap. When a woman used bring two dozen eggs to the shop she would bring home, an oz. tea, ½ lb sugar, ½ soap and a penny worth blacking.
