Do you remember how great great grandfather did the family shopping? He would hook up his team of horses to the big wagon put in the family and trudge off across the prairie for a day or so to get to the nearest 'general store'. Once there it was a great outing for the family. The store had everything needed from children's store bought candy to mother's ready made dress. If the store did not have that certain special item there was always the option of the catalog.
After
the turn of the century (1900 not 2000) a couple of remarkable changes
occurred that begin to alter family shopping. America began to grow up
and out – at least to the oceans. And the automobile made its auspicious
entrance. Now the family could get to the general store much faster.
Mother loved that, she could make more trips is a shorter time.
