A 1920's general store bill





Grocery bill for Mama Atwood from Higginbotham's, a general store in Comanche.

Higginbotham's is a store on the southwest corner of the square in Comanche.  It is still there today.
Mentioned at the bottom of the bill is a "Delineator" which was a magazine for home sewing enthusiasts.
Mama Atwood was definitely one of those.  She made clothes, quilts, and all manner of useful things for her family. She made the dress she is wearing in this picture in 1928.
