I grew up in a town with the 'family market'- Lee's grocery. Our family had an account (a small notepad behind the counter, on which the clerk would write the date and amount). In the back was the meat counter where you could order a bologna sandwich. Everyone in the store knew our family, by name. I miss Lee's.
Just prior to my graduation from high school we had to move to Northeastern Michigan. We lived 20 miles out of town in an area that was pretty remote. Kowalski Market was on the way out of twon and he let my dad havae an account that we paid once a month. I do not know what we would have done without that man and his market. Tedd
