Interview with Lois Beville Cone 27
March 30, 1995



0: So even though you do not remember a time when you did not have a car, there was a
 mixture of cars and horses being used as you were growing up. C: Yes, yes.

0: Talking about stores, in your father's store, how did he display his wares? Was there any
 special way he had of displaying them that might be different?
C: Well, I can remember that he had a counter that had glass compartments, and they would
 display bulk candies in those and that the flour came in 25 pound sacks, and if you wanted a pound, they would take a pound out. They had canned goods, and they had a meat market and of course, they had a glass compartment for the meat market too, and they displayed
 meat. That is about all I remember about it.

0: Did the farmers bring in their produce to your father? C: Yes, they did.
0: Or did he have to go out to it to the town, or something like that? C: No, they brought it in.

0: They brought it in?

C: Yes.

0: You say you bought your shoes at Tench's shoe store. C: Tench's, yes.

0: What did the shoe store look like at that time? Was it different or was it just like a shoe store
 we have now?

C: It was like a shoe store we have now. Shoe boxes on the wall, and those little stools they sit
 on and put your foot up there and put the shoe on.

0: How did they get, were the shoes on the wall, or boxes on the wall or. C: Yes, but on the street the store had glass and they would display the shoes so that you could
 see them before you walked in the store.
