SOUP TO NUTS ON WHEELS!!!!

First of all, I have to tell you that we got the estimate for the car damage. It totaled about $1,500. It sure adds up, even though it wasn't damaged that much. A new bumper in the back and the sensor lites were goofed up and needed new ones. To compare the difference today and what it was when I was a child, you could purchase 2 new cars for this price in 1938. Now it just repairs a minor fender bender. My dad purchased a Chevrolet car in 1938 and paid $750 for it. What a difference years make!!!

My title today is that years ago we could purchase "soup to nuts" right in our own barnyard.
I remember a country peddler would come often and he would have brooms, cure-all medicines, and what ever the house wife should need for the next month or so was in his "store on wheels". We also, had the Fuller Brush man to come to sell his wares. The Raleigh Man would sell vanilla, spices, and all the array of enticing products that a housewife "MUST HAVE". We even had a "bakery on wheels" would stop by and try to sell bakery goods. Occasionally we would buy "Long Johns" that had filling inside. All these were regular peddler's that would try to make a living selling their products to the busy farmwives when I was a child. No doubt, Lydia Pinkham (a cure all), was part of the potions that were sold. I mentioned this is in the "Big Black Bag" story. However, I think the title should have been "The Little Black Bag". It just appeared BIG to a 5 and a 3 year old.
