The task of trying to supply the many items in the variety line that are most wanted by their custom-rs is one that requires constant at tention, and then it seems that the items that are missing are the very ones someone wants. Mr. and Mis. Steers purchased the variety store in 1953 from Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Thomas who had had it for more than 25 j ears. For the Steers, it was an entirely new venture, for they had been engaged in raising tur keys for a number of years and prior to that had operated the service station and park at Big Eddy on the Mist highway for eight years.

The variety store carries the usual list of items for such a business, running the gamut from buttons to luggage, with all items in the lower price bracket, i-’ually under three dollars. A survey of shelves and counters leveals notions of ail sorts, in eluding threads for embroidery, crochet and sewing; bias tapes,- bindings, miscellaneous sewing items, such as needles, pins, scis sors, tape measures, etc. For the y< ung fry there are, of course, ail sorts of toys, story books, col oring books, comic books, puzzles and games. Babies are high on the list catered to, maybe be cause the Steers have several grandchildren and the items of infants wear and accesories are cne source of many shower and congratulation gifts. Collectors of salt and pepper shakers and cups and saucers are not forgotten either and can al ways be finding a new design among the ones offered. Small items of clothing, such as socks, aprons,« suspenders, children’s caps and gloves are all on display. Caylite candles hold a promin ent place And the Stçers are al ways proud to tell visitors hère ;nat they are a Vernonia product.

Of course, candy and gum have ■heir place and cake decorations, Birthday candles, fancy napkins all make entertaining on the spe cial occasions easier. Many other items complete the list and customers are invited to ask for what they don’t see. Mr. Steers leaves most of the work of the store to Mrs. Steers, for he is also the Shell Oil distri butor for this area, a business he took over last year from E. V. Robertson. He also drove bus for a number of years on the Stoney 1 oint run. Mr. and Mrs. Steers have raised a family here and feel that they nave» put down deep roots in Vernonia Thur faith in its future is strong.
