To all who are interestered: The chicken and egg business run by farm women must have been going on for as long as this country has been in existence. Both of my grandmothers and my mother traded chickens and eggs for essentials they couldn't grow or raise on the farm. I remember mother trading eggs and chickens in the 30's, and my dad told of riding a mule to the store with a dozen eggs that my grandmother had placed in a flour sack. The peddler would come through once a week and he carried all sorts of things including toys. Even when we children didn't have any money to spend, we still enjoyed entering the truck and just looking at all the goodies. Where is Right, TN? Betty (Duke) Swift

Right is about half way between Coffee Landing and Morris Chapel in Hardin County TN.
