Bedtime snack...homemade garlic toast with chopped fresh basil, chopped cherry tomatoes, shredded mozzarella, with parmigiano reggiano and Colavita olive oil for dipping. Healthy AND indulgent! Comments | Permalink Baldwin's Cash Grocery ad, March 1936

As the winter of 1935-36 drew to close, Baldwin's Cash Market, then located in the west corner of the Public Square, offered great deals for the careful shopper, as evinced by this ad from the March 4, 1936 Adair County News.
To do some quick conversions, the 16c crackers would run about three dollars in today's money; the quarter grapefruit juice would take nearly all of a fiver; and the $6.50 lard would lighten one's wallet by almost $125.00.
The name of one item, the Pride of Adair coffee, is a curiosity-piquer. Mr. Baldwin offered it virtually from the time he opened his store in early 1935 until early 1942, a few months after he moved the operation to the east corner of the square.
Does anyone have an insight about the origin of this brand of coffee? Comments | Permalink Older Photos
