Uncle Mahlon’s Story (part 7)

April 13, 2015 by Mahlon 17 Comments

Sundays after church from 12-5:30 or 6:00 was free time for the children. I often remembers finding a gunnysack when I would walk home from Brazito where a small country store was located. On way way to the store, I would pick up pop bottles and cash them in for a one of the following: 16oz bottle of pepsi for five cents, candy bar for five cents, or a sack of candy for ten cents. While on my way back I would walk on the opposite side of the road and pick up bottles for the next time I went to the store. The return price on a bottle was two cents. If I had leftover candy, I would share it with the smaller kids.

The file says this map is from 1904. Lots of interesting details.
