Salt and Looking Glasses in Carlisle Mercantile Tale
A Sullivan man recalls a Carlisle mercantile firm around 1859. One brother sent produce to New Orleans for goods, but excessive buying led to an enormous salt purchase at a dollar per barrel and crates of looking glasses. They stored crates, cut the glasses into frames, sold them as picture frames, and profited. The Civil War era then boosted salt to five dollars a barrel, enriching the firm.
