I really don't know when these snapshots were taken but I would imaginesometime in the 1920's . They are interesting because the peddlar was avery handy man to come calling. When he cam e down the c reeks all thechildren would run out to greet him. He carried flour, sugar, coff ee,sewing supplys and many useful and needed items. This would and did savea trip into town . Many farmers didn't have cars. It required time andeffort to saddle up a wagon to go int o town.
