Country images you don't see much anymore

Then and now. A hardware/grocery store near where I grew up in Ohio. Can't find a date on the first picture, but the building itself was there before 1900. Second picture is from Google Streetview (2016). It was a pretty nice looking building back in the 60's as I recall, and still a hardware store then.

Yup, a couple!
The first is for faith, the second is for hope, the third is for love, and the fourth is for luck.
If you would like to plant a field of them for the goats you can order four leaf clover seed in bulk, this is one of several sources.
Good Luck!

For you or the goats!
I like finding those little items in books, I always leave them for the next person to find in another fifty years or so.
I've never found any money tucked in them though, LOL!!!

Yep, Nancy...whenever we took a drive out in the country in the early 1940's from the city of Wheeling, W. Va, where I was born, we would see these Mail Pouch ads on many barns!
Oh, BTW...my Lamb wants to meet your Goat.layful:

My mother told me stories of the winter sleigh rides she enjoyed while growing up in North Battleford, Saskatchewan. She was a stubble jumper! Lol.

Custom chrome wheels, disc brakes, and a lowered chassis on an old Chevy pickup?
Naaaaw! An old vehicle should look old in every detail, man!

Hey Shalimar,
Shalimar...sounds like some exotic Spice from the East...
Yes, I play piano! In fact, I just finished practicing Cole Porter's "Begin the Beguine". Has a complex chord progression in the bridge I have to work out.
I play the Blues using nothing but Seventh chords in the changes, such as: C7...F7...G7.
Jazz combo pianists like to play in Bb Major, so the Horns can play in their natural keys.
Tell me what you like to play...do you have a Piano?
Cheers,
Hal

Yes I have my grandmother's piano. Like her, I play by ear. Sing me a song once or twice, I will play it for you! I love old jazz and blues. My grandmother was raised Baptist, so I am able to play all the old hymns. Usually, I only use the bblack keys, as she did. I also like to play the handsaw. Sounds like a primitive synthesizer. My handle, Shalimar, references my favourite parfum, Shalimar, by Guerlain. I would love to learn to play flamenco guitar and sitar.

I liked to try difficult things. I finally mastered "The Flight of the Bumble bee" and
of course, the subsequent "Bumble Boogie.
But I prefer Ferde Grofe's "On the Trail" and The Hall of the Mountain King.
Remember, "On the Trail" was the theme song for Phillip Morris cigarettes.?
