Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Back In The Day (Old Country Store)

Can anyone recall paying for a purchase where one of these was positioned next to a giant gold cash register under a large ball of twine. The clerk would ask if you would like your purchase wrapped. Only used brown paper bags for very small items.

I was always in too big a hurry and stuck the .22 shells or fishing tackle in my pocket. Which reminds me, the sinkers bobbers etc were in little glass partitioned bins with individual prices in a metal clip on the front.

In fact, I can't think of a retail store, when I was a kid, that didn't have a large ball of twine hanging over the cash register.
