Remember Price's Store in Friendsville. I remember Mom sending me across the back lot to The Store carrying two chickens, their feet tied together with twine. I would trade those chickens to George Price for flour, sugar, bread or whatever it was Mom needed. I remember too, sitting on the front steps in the evening listening to all the men talking about the farming situation, the weather, who had the best team of horses (or mules), and later who made the best tractor. Farmall, John Deere, anyone remember the Massey-Harris or Minneapolis-Moline. How about the Alice-Chalmers?
I remember giving Mr. Price Mom's grocery list and while he filled a paper sack from the shelves that lined the walls of the store, I would go to the glass candy case and, hoping there would be a nickle left over from the price of the chickens, decide what I would ask him for. Do you remember Power House candy bars? How about Black Jack gum..........and candy cigarettes? Would I go back? I would be very tempted.........
