This is what Ken Kauffman says about Southside Market and how they extended credit to farmers:

I also recall local grocers allowing large farm families to charge groceries for a full year because there was no money except when the clover seed, or corn, or potatoes or other “cash” crops were sold in the fall. We always got groceries at Southside Market in Glenns Ferry from the Larsons. I wonder how in the world businesses could survive extending that much credit for that long. We were not unique in having to have that kind of credit. I recall Dad looking at the annual bill from Southside Market and saying “oy, oy,oy; $350!” That for a family of 12 for groceries for a full year. They usually gave Dad a bag of candy to bring home when he paid the bill.
