was tjlkin so loud wul being of their own sex i was kinda mterreted in what they was saym so i listened in for a minute seems one of those dames was down in rockwood and went in to roots hardware store and was amazed at all the different and novel items hey had on sale there couldnt get over it she said all softs of things she hadnt seen atound her town and the pceiple waitm em her were accordint to wot she said very very friendly and courteous then she kept right on tawkin without stoppin to brejthe uyin she went in to that mill bnd store next dooi and was pleased cause she could buy some kind of sheer material for curtains she seemed to think rockwood was quite a place to shopheck roots is where dick and the other guys get me all my harness gear and di duncan and all the
