Oh the days of mom & pop grocery stores! Norman S. Chase at work. Probably the 40s or 50s?

I was born in '49 and I remember men in grocery stores wearing hats like this. Another thing from that time is the boxes of sanitary napkins came wrapped in plain brown paper.

Things didn't get moved around like they do now in the stores. You knew where things were and they stayed in same place for years.

They didn't have all the marketing strategies the companies do now. I never can find things because they move the items too often.

It was one stop shopping.. you could buy a pound of burger and a pair of rubber galoshes in one trip.. :D

I loved stores like that! There are few around anymore, usually in small towns or rural settings. Have the grocer wrap up a pound of bacon, go down in the basement and get a pound of nails, order 40 pounds of ribs and ten gallons of ice-cream for your upcoming picnic, have a couple of kegs delivered and order a new fence charger. Mostly gone now.

Based on the hairdo of the lady in the poster at the upper right, this was taken in the early fifties.

Ox-Head pale dry ale advertising Would this be a Southern store to sell beer in grocery store. Good eye

It wouldn't need to be a Southern store. I grew up in Portland Oregon and you could buy beer in a mom and pop grocery there.

We had Rowen's and Stevenson's in Midvale, Ohio. Stevenson's was a grocery with a meat counter and Rowen's had groceries on one side with a fabulous penny candy case and auto parts/hardware and fishing stuff on the other with gas pumps out front. Mom would sent us with a note and money and no fear that we would be kidnapped coming or going.

These were almost nonexistent when I was little. We had grocery stores and drug stores that looked like this (heavily stocked with everything you'd need or want from A to Z). Even "merchanitles" still in very small towns,but very few I got to see.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.
So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
