| The Wal-Mart of Yesteryear |
The country general store was the Wal-Mart of yesterday. The general store was where people purchased their food, clothes, shoes, tools, seeds, chickens, pots, pans, stamps, and miscellaneous household goods. Everybody went to the store on Saturday afternoon. It was a time to meet your neighbors and get the local news. This was a social event and a shopping event all rolled into one.
I have fond memories of the country store! The sights, the sounds, and the smells that only a country store can have makes good memories that last a lifetime.
