To get something such as candy, ice cream, or a soft drink, or to get some medicine because I or someone else was sick. If you were inclined to like ice cream sodas, hot fudge sundaes or chocolate bars, or a combination of them, you would probably go for these the first time and later on go for medicine. You can stiU purchase some of these itmes in modern drug stores, but you can also purchase hundreds of others too. The list might go from cosmetics, to greeting cards, books to school and office supplies, lamps and brie a brae to cloth- ing, perscriptions and medicants to lun-cand cameras, appliances to flashlights. You name it, chances are theyve got it toys, trinkets, typewriters, fishing and hunting licenses and supplies.
