‘Great Olivett’s Memories’
Dear Editor:
After reading in the Echo about Olivett’s closing, I felt I had to write about one family’s ties to Joe Olivett’s Market.
I married in 1950, and we started buying groceries at Joe’s. Well, with the marriage came the family of 6 kids! Things were pretty tight, buying a home, etc.! We had a charge at Olivett’s. This made it easy; we could send the kids for milk, bread and etc. Bread at one time was 4 for $1.00.
