(1910)
“ And storekeepers would say, "We're always 'out of pocket' When Snow comes round this way." 'Twas the custom of the villagers — Few of them being rich — To trade their surplus "garden-sass" For groceries and " sich." One store supplied the village With goods of every kind, Including wines and liquors For those that way inclined. ”
