I got off without a licking but was restricted to quarters
for a week or two.
Maybe you would like to take a look at the Okobojo Store.
It was on the north side of the street and the door was on the south.
The main part was probably forty feet long and twenty four feet wide.
I can remember when it still had the hitching rail outside to tie saddle
horses to. The board walk in the front was about a foot high.
Big glass windows on each side of the door let in plenty of light.
When you walked in the counter was to your left.
Setting on the counter as you went in was a show case made of glass.
This was for candy, gum, Cracker Jack, cigars and cigarette papers.
Next was a scale to weigh bacon, cheese etc.
Next came a vacant place for waiting on the customer and then another
showcase and coffee grinder on the end.
