With the founding of Wakonda in the mid 1800's came the early merchants supplying the pioneers with such items as they could not readily supply for themselves. There was little or no self service because of the absence of unit packageing. Much merchandise was sold out of the barrell or by the bulk box or by hundred weight sack. Prepackageing of merchandise except in can good lines were relativley unheard of. Much of the dairy and poultry sold was locally produced. Butter was packed in one to five pound crocks while eggs were brought to town packed in oats. Mrs. George Sweeley, sold over $400.00 worth of butter at the Wakonda stores in the fall and winter in one of the early World War 1 years. Other industrious farm women did as well if not better, no doubt.
