At one time there were several door to door sallesman,. the majority of the people had Watkins and Rawleigh products in their homes. The children were pleased to see the Rawleigh man as he always gave each one a stick of gum, which was a real treat. In those days if one had anything to chew it was paraffin wax or birch bark. The Watkins and Rawleigh bottles are among many of the bottle collectors treasures today. Many will remember the Porter's liniment and salve. One could not buy this at the store as it was dold only through a dealer, who came once a year. This was truly a good product so one bought a year's supply at a time. Many children at that time sold Cloverine salve to earn a little spending money. Later Grand Union and Jewell Tea products were sold. In the 1920s there was a peddler named Anix who came through the area with a large supply of dry goods. Many people bought clothing from him. He would stay overnight at a farmer's home and be on his way early the next morning. One counot forget the "Banana Man" He came through the area several times during the summer, and one could hear him coming as he called "Yes, I got bananas, I got bananas today." He had other produce as well, but the bananas were the specialty. Seneca

Who could ever forget the little house out back!!!. it was known by many names such as toliet, Privy, outhouse, closet or two holer. As the name inplies there were usually two seats and a low seat provided for the little folks, in warm weather one would leisurely sit and leaf throught the Sears Roebuck Catalogue which was the oly toliet tissue available, as the "squeezable" Charmin was unheard of at that time. During the winter you went about your business and hurried back to the warm house. Probably the most appreciated improvement to houses was the intallation of inside plumbing. This not only eliminated the "Little House' but also the wooden and galvanized wash tubs used for the Saturday night bath in the kitchen Seneca

Hi Don I sent that I have a book on Windham Twp Wyoming Co ,and I have been sending the information from this book in short information stories. [email protected]

Thats a terrific story . Thanks PHYLLIS

Is it a bird, is it a plane? No--- its supercow. These thoughts must have been running through the mind of Paul Brown, of Jenningsville on Friday evening, as he saw a Holstein heifer with a 20 foot wingspan coming toward him on the highway followed by some 40 other cows. This amazing sight had its beginning when the heifer owned by Clayton Sharpe, of Jenningsville, wandered into a barn in search of hay. Somehow she manged to dislodge a 20 foot ladder from its storage space and it fell on her horns--perfectly balanced. Despite the annoying protruberance the heifer was able to maneuver through a narrow doorway leading to the barnyard, Panicky because of the strange apparatus on her head she then bolted down the highway. The other herd members either upset at the unusual turn of events or just wanting to get a better look at their ladder bedecked sister, took of down the road in her wake. Just then Mr. Brown was driving his foreigh made compact car toward the home he rents on the Sharpe farm. Great was his surprise to see the wider than the average cow and her entourage bearing down upon him. The ladder jus missed his windshield as the beleaguered bovine whizzed past and as the heifer swerved to one side to avert a head on crash the tip of the ladder caught the embakement. This caused her to spin out and as she fell to the ground the ladder was dislodged. About an hour's work was required to round up the animals and get them back where they belonged
