W E Pierce

Rainy night, and a steamy morning. Had an occasion to go to Pierce's store in Shrewsbury the other day. It is a window into a Vermont that no longer exists. Had some great ginger cookies. I waited for the shop keeper to get me some from behind the glass counter, but she said to just go around the display, and help myself. They still have the old cash register there. It is the most beautiful and ornate register I have ever seen. Although W. E. Pierce is from another era, time marches on. You can find pictures and information about it online.
