The "General Store" or "Mom and Pop" played an important role in small towns, prairies, and frontiers of America providing items that people could not produce themselves: tools, gadgets, clothing, shoes, food, and medicine. This book contains nearly 600 fixtures from American country stores of the Nineteenth and early Twentieth century. Fully illustrated, it contains not only valuable information on each item sold therein, but a great deal of history on the stores themselves and the people who worked in them as well. Dating from the turn of the Twentieth century, many of the illustrations provide historical references to actual everyday life. A must for the library of any antique lover, collector or student of history.
