Generosity of a Jolly Uncle to Polly in Independence
An Uncle Josh helps Polly and Charley establish a life in Independence. He arranges a wedding gift carriage and guides the couple to Tucker & Ferguson for real estate, Bohannon for lumber, and Rice Calbreath for furniture and appliances. They visit Kirkland’s drug store and Kirkland’s pharmacy, then Rice & Calbreath for hardware, a Wilton carpet display, and Mrs. Wallace’s millinery. The tale ends with Polly’s homemaking purchases and Uncle Josh advising on reliable local merchants.
