An 1891 Grocery Bill

The bill of S.M. Roberts

One never knows what lurks in the archive files. I thought some might be interested in the above bill. It should be noted what we might refer to as a grocery store today, was better known as a mercantile store. Most carried “dry goods” and very little perishables, as this was before refrigeration. Neil’s Mercantile at Standish and Heard’s Market in Litchfield were among the last of its kind. However, there is Winje’s Emporium in Doyle that in its century old building has that rustic charm. Let’s not forget, when you are headed north stop in at Adin Supply.
