Friday was an especially big day, something like seventeen autos being in front of the store at one time unloading cream, butter and eggs. S. E. Cook, the groceryman, just added the cream business a few weeks ago and has been having a steady increase of business in that line, Friday being a top-notcher, taking in 130 gallons.
