FIRST PLACE PERSONAL RECOLLECTION OLD RED AND WHITE STORE Wilbur Braithwaite 58 North 2nd East Manti, Utah 84642 Stroll backward in time to days of yore To a 1930 grocery store Where pot-bellied stoves warmed up cold hands, And sprayers cooled off vegetable stands. Bananas ripened right on the stalk, Time clicked off to a grandfather's clock, Wood barrels brimmed with brown ginger snaps, Kegs of vinegar had spigot taps. Canned goods were faced in double-stacked rows, Straw hats on pegs, blue denim and bows. Cast-iron fisnd-purnps inetereo coa 1 -oi 1 * Hemp-rope was cut from off a rolled coil. Limburger smells pervaded the air; Awnings rolled down to shade the sun's glare. Spring scales suspended down fiom a beam. Apples were polished to a bright sheen. 100 |
