    Buying and Selling
    in Olden times
    Shops were not common in Olden times. People had to go to the nearest towns to make purchases. Buying and Selling was always carried on after Mass. It is not carried on now. Money was not always given for goods in Olden times. The women and men would work in exchange for goods. the Markets were held in Sligo in former days. They are held in other places now a days. There are no hucksters now a days.
