If you're like me, you didn't know that grippe is an old term for influenza until I googled it.

The store was in Highbridge. When not in the store my father was a loom fixer for the mill there. My mother who was a looper had a looping machine in the house set up by Tricnit Hosiery. A bell attached to the door of the store would alert her to a customer in the store. She had 4 kids at the time.

When I was 6 years old I had to run outside and check the spelling of my last name on the store sign as I did my homework. I wasn't sure if it was Niemi or Neimi. So, I understand to misspelling in this add. Trick or treaters would get an ice cream cone at Halloween.
