Does anyone remember the old “Rolling Stores”? They were moving van type trucks stocked with everything from groceries to cloth and shotgun shells..  Along the outside they had chicken coops. They would take chickens and eggs in trade etc.  In this area where the country folks could not get into town very often the rolling stores were essential , altho most country folks were self sufficient with livestock and gardens.At one time there were four grocery companies operating rolling stores in this area.  My father drove one for Settles Brothers Grocery until WW2 and I sometimes rode with him. The arrival of the store was preceded by hearing the horn blowing in the distance and much anticipated as a means of getting all the local news.  We would be eagerly standing by the road when the store arrived. As the farming became more mechaniized and less labor intensive the stores were gradually phased out and after the 1950's no longer existed.  I just read an obituary for a man who it said had been a “rolling store” driver.  Wonder how many of the city folks knew what that was?
