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
