"l REMEMBER" BY THE OLD TIMERS From Nellie B. McCann, Tujunga, Calif.: Yes, I certainly do remember re-member the wooden Indian in front of barber shops, also sawdust on all butcher shop floors, the old lamplighter, bustles, and trailing skirts. I remember the loom my aunt used to weave rag carpets on, the surrey with the fringe on top, torch light parades at election time. I loved to watch canal boats coma through the locks at Akron, Ohio. I recall the two and three cent pieces, two cents as large as a quarter and three cents as large as a dime. From Christina Witschger, Cincinnati, Cin-cinnati, Ohio: I remember when my mother would send me to a country store with a half-gallon tin bucket to get 10 cents worth of molasses, and it was very good. Molasses came in barrels in those days. I also remember the drays as we bought our flour by the barrel, bar-rel, and the drayman delivered it to us. What has become of the good stick- candy the grocer would give us if we bought a few groceries? Good old days are gone forever. (Mail your memories to The Old Timers, Box 340, Frankfort, Ky.)
