To Roxboro and Durham We would raise our pigs and wrap our sausage, backbones, tenderloins and other meats and put them in freezer. We also raised a garden. Our customers would let us know a week ahead what to bring. Sometimes it would be a whole ham or side of meat, or large amounts of eggs, bushels of garden beans, butter beans, greens. Our milk and butter would be in a cooler. We bought our bags from the store. And we had small scales and hanging scales to weigh our produce. We would go to Roxboro on Friday and knock on doors. At that time, you could just knock on someone’s door. On Saturday we would go to Durham, and that was more money. We had to get up early to pack the car. In later years we were able to get a truck which made things much better. Jean Stanfield | Roxboro |
