The Mom of this operation had picnic tables both inside and outside the store where you could sit and talk to others, like yourself, who just needed an item or two or saw someone they had been wanting to kibitz with and sat and talked a spell.
For 21 years my mom, Helen Ayers, was the general manager of the Brown County Democrat, the only newspaper published in Brown County, and frequently rated the blue- ribbon newspaper in Indiana, and for those 21 years, she was one of the main writers and producers of this newspaper.
