Peter Laramie's Store

1t was the worst trouble spot on
the whole frontier, that little log
store of Peter Laramie's, on Laramie
creek in later Shelby County, and in
it many an Indian raid was planned
and a lot of savage devilment was
hatched up. 1t was the first store
individually owned and operated by
white man in what now is Ohio.
Laramie was French Canadian
and opened the store in 1859 only
few miles up creek from the site of
Pickawillany, the English trading
post sacked and burned by the French
and Indians in 1852 following long
and bloody siege. 1t had been owned

Nom Used Coffee Cans
L. X. NJ. Washington


Dear Mrs. j. j. L.: Regard
ing your request for instruc-
tons making hassocks out of
empty juice cans-my mother
always used coffee cans be-
cause of the lids. She filled
each can with sand, put it in
an old stocking and sewed the
top. One can was put in the
center and the others around
1t and all sewed with heavy
duty thread or cord.
Cotton batting was put on the
top and sewed to the stockings
(sponge rubber would be grand.
but it would have to be put
in a casing so it could be sewed
to the stockings. She used a
piece Of upholstery material
for the side a little wider than
the cans and long enough to
reach around the stool, pulling
it tight between each can and
fastening it at top and bottom
of the stool. A loop of the
material was then sewed to the
top of one of the cans. extend
ing IL or 2 inches for use in
picking up the stool. A piece
of heavy material was sewed
on the bottom and the top
covered with the upholstery
material, whipping it to the
edge of each can. Then a mar
row piece of braid was put
around the cans, just below
the top edge to give a nice
finish.
Best of luck to you in the
making of your hassocks and
I hope you enjoy them.
