(Mrs. Jennings): Tip Top, that's what it was.

 (Ms. Wanza): Tip Top?

 (Mrs. Jennings): Yeah, Tip Top. Did you ever hear of that?

 (Ms. Wanza): So your family went to Tip Top for groceries?

Okay.

 (Mrs. Jennings): But we also bought grocery...and see what my

father would do as I told you he was like a...I don't know if you

call a man a matriarch but he would buy things because he had a

sister that had many boys and he would buy like a 100 pounds of

rice (laughter) and he would tell my mamma be sure and give Susan,

that was his sister so much out of it and he had another sister who

was divorced, she just had two children, and give Girty so much out

of it (laughter) and he would buy things by, you know, a lot of it.

 (Female???): Wholesale.

 (Mrs. Jennings): Yes, he would...because he was a man who got

around see. My father got around quite a bit.

 (Ms. Wanza): Could you describe where your family went to the

barber shop or beauty shop?

 (Mrs. Jennings): Ah, I don't know where my daddy went to.

I'm trying to think of where mamma had her hair because at that

time I had a lot and she didn't allow me to straighten it at that

time. No. My other sister over here, I guess you saw her pictures

because she has plats down here. She didn't...I'm trying to think

of the lady who mamma when to...Mrs. Fannie...I think her name was

Mrs. Fannie.

 (Ms. Wanza): Mrs. Fannie. Do you know where it was located?
