Re: Good Morning Sassy
Those times are gone. The only ones I've seen are kind of rather naive

Re: FS
Inflation seems to keep running you have to pay more and the customer also.

You sound like the ideal customer. Not many of those around now.

I suppose Amazon and such pulled the rug. Thank you.

I remember vacuum salesmen, the Hoover I think, and the Fuller brush salesman. There was something called a Jewel Tea truck that I recall but Mother didn't buy from it. Then there was a Helms bakery truck...

I usedd to buy all my spices from the Watkins man; also bought a vacuum cleaner and a set of pots and pans (that I still have and use), an encyclopedia...and clothes from a lady selling door to door, fish and seafood...the list goes on. If they are willing to put themselves out there, I am willing to buy if I want their product.
I would be careful around that lady of ice; I doubt she has any warm feelings.

Ah I remember when slaesmen used to come to the farm. Mother always bought from Watkins and a man used to tow a van behind his truck filled with mainly linens blankets and work clothes. Mother always bought her aprons from this man. The ones she always wore around the house.

I like going to a store where items are on shelves, packaged and
marked as to price, contents, etc. The idea of buying out of a suitcase seems a bit chancy. As for the lady of ice -- forget about it.Â

Good Afternoon
I think it's best to stay away from people selling out of a suitcase. There's no telling where the items came from.Â

Good morning
Sales from a suitcase was once a lucrative business. There was a time when you could buy anything from a toilet brush to seasonings or a vacuum cleaner.Â
