We were a small community, but because we were 15 miles from the nearest town, we had two places you could buy groceries. One had been built a century before as a store for the local mill. The second was so similar to the store in the o/p. Our house was at a 3 way intersection. One store was the first building on the road to the west. The other store was the second property to the south and the butcher was our neighbor to the north. Aside from the house in which I grew up ( which was built as a hotel in the early 1800s) the other places are long gone.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention my father had a small dairy herd and sold raw milk every evening after supper to our neighbors. 25 cents / quart.
