<p>[QUOTE=&quot;buckeye73, post: 8145043, member: 93155&quot;]My grandfather and grandmother owned a country store for over 35 years, where you could buy almost anything including groceries, all types of meats, shoes, work clothes, livestock feed, and practically anything else needed in a rural setting.&nbsp; The store was heated by a potbellied coal-fired stove, where the old timers gathered in the evening.</p><p>At that time, in the mid 1950’s they sold Gulf gasoline at under 30 cents a gallon and my favorite Orange Crush soda was 7 cents.&nbsp; Of course, they always returned my Merc dime on a soda purchase and allowed me to search the change drawer for collector coins during off hours when I visited them. That was the start of my lifelong hobby.&nbsp; </p><p>Thanks [USER=89213]@Inspector43[/USER] for rekindling fond memories of my grandparents during this time of the year!</p><p>Happy New Year All!</p><p>Dan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
