We had a general store in Erma and it was a real old fashion one with pot belly stove and a bunch of old men around it talking about everything under the Sun. Old Mary Mathews owned it and we were always going there for penny candy and ice cream cones, which were only 10 cents. She sold dipped ice cream by the pound and it was really good. Mother used to send us for that quite often. She would dip it out on a paper take-out tray and cover it with wax paper.
Her old meat slicer had to be cranked by hand. It was a fascinating place and I never got tired of going in there.
