Presented here is a circular (the original measured 11” x 17” on orange paper) which was taken door to door in town by kids who earned as much as a nickel to distribute them. Notice the depression-time 1933 prices. The cheapest item listed was 1 pound of Marrowfat Beans for 3 cents. Thought you might enjoy this for a change of pace.

(Can you name at least three other Beavertown stores then in business? Answer next month.)

Answer to Last Month

Originally the planing mill was built and owned by Russell Benfer. After he died, it was then sold to the Fetterolf brothers (Art and Luther). Thereafter it became Saylor (George Sr.) and Mattern (George). Mattern never was an investment partner, but when he quit it became the Beavertown Building and Lumber Supply owned by George Saylor Sr. and brother Charles Jr. Then George Saylor Jr. bought it, and finally the last operator was Dale Thomas.
