F. SAUNDERS - Shopping in San Angelo.
Residents of Blackwell did most of their shopping
in Sweetwater. However, First Monday of the Month Trades
Day in San Angelo was also considered a very important day. Harry's
Grocery specials were cost-savers for rural people.
Out-of-town shoppers usually parked in the Sears parking lot for
free. However, if the Sears lot was full and one had to park
on the street, coins were left under the windshield wiper on the
driver's side for the parking meter. Visitors received a
ticket which said:"Thanks for shopping in San Angelo. Come
back soon." The coins under the windshield would remain in place all
day--never used, never stolen. Last stop was Gandy's Creamery
where workers would pack purchased ice cream in dry ice for
the long drive home.
