The people at that time had little or no money and many drove ox teams and sleds, even to town and church. They manufactured nearly all their clothing, homespun was never scoffed at, and pleasure carriages were never seen. Goods were transported or hauled all the way from Newburg, NY, over the old turnpike, in wagons. William Ward, who came in 1806, opened the first store in 1815 and Henry Burritt came in 1821, established a general store, and ran it for nearly 60 years.

News Briefs: It is slightly over two years ago since we first got up a few post card designs and placed them on sale. We were pioneers in the selling as well as the manufacture of local view cards, which then were something very "new." We were urged to supply local retailers, furnishing them new designs as published, and now perhaps have over one thousand engravings for this special work, which item alone is not a small one. Now, in view of the handsome, richly colored postals made abroad, we are importing cards made from local scenes, and having made shipments large, will be able to supply retailers of cards.
