Ronald Paul: Every Saturday morning, Tom Brooks, Frank [indecipherable], Ben Brooks used to go down there sell clothes baskets, two dollars and fifty cents a piece. We’d work hard all week, apple baskets, potato baskets, clothesbaskets and fishing baskets. Fishing basket was ninety cents, apple basket was seventy five cents and fifty cents. If it had a swivel handle on it that was worth a dollar. Potato baskets, small ones and big ones had to be double bottomed before you could get a dollar for them, a dollar and ten. Axe handles four dollars and fifty cents a dozen.
