Show I - , "I REMEMBER" SY THE OLD TIMERS 1 " i From Louise Coleman, Shelby, Montana! I remember when I used to scrub my ' mother' kitchen table. It was home-made, no oilcloth oil-cloth or anything on It On Sunday, mother used white tablecloths. I can remember the Iron kettle at my mother's home across the ocean. I cooked In one many times. It was white enamel Inside and I used It until the enamel chipped off, then had to discard It. 1 also cleaned steel knives and forks with a brick. We used Arbuckle and Lion coffee, ground in a coffee grinder.. I also remember driving our children chil-dren to school In a rubber covered wheel buggy. I would drive to Sweetgrass, Montana for groceries. When cars first became numerous, Queen, the beautiful mare we drove, would always want 'to turn t around and chase them. We finally sold her to the canners She was 1 so awfully old we could not keep ; her any longer. ' I- ' I can remember crossing a stile I Instead of opening the large gates which they used to have. There i were also toll roads and you had ! to pay before they would let you I through. I From Mrs. Lottie Breyfogel: I remember when I was awakened In the morning to the sweet music of mother grinding coffee. Although I have enjoyed many cups since ! j that time, none has ever tasted xt quite so good as that which mother used to grind In the old coffee mill : . . .
