days there were no individual
chairs but long benches which
may be seen today. The latter
are used however not to seat
guests, but to support the tables
upon which the salesmen display
their goods to our enterprising
merchants.
The old records which are pre-
served are an interesting study
for the one who likes to think
of the times of our forefathers.
A ledger is preserved from the
early fifties. Note the prices of
everyday articles at this time.

reasonably good record, but there
is the record of a tree near
Marble Falls, owned by Mr. A.
L. Askew of Pleasant Valley, a
man whose word is as good as his

The tree is comparatively!
young, but has been bearing for ■
several years. In 1919 Mr. As-'
kew gathered and sold off of this
tree 800 pounds at 25 cents per
pound. Besides this 50 to 100
pounds were kept for eating pur-1
poses. This year the crop is said I
to be little better than half, but!
the old tree produced 506 pounds.
