Excerpt from Franklin County at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century: Historical Record of Its Development, Resources, Industries, Institutions, and Inhabitants; With Illustrations of Public Institutions, Portraits of Pioneers, and Well-Known People of to-Day
During all the early years of the settlement, varied with occasional pleasures and excitements, the great work of increasing the tillable ground went slowly on. Farm implements and tools were scarce, but the soil, that had long held in reserve the accumulated richness of centuries, produced splendid crops, handsomely rewarding the pioneer's labor. Only the com monest goods were brought into the country, being floated down the Ohio to the mouth of the Scioto, and these sold at extortionate rates. Tea was worth two or three dollars a pound long after the Scioto Valley had been settled as far as Columbus coffee sold for from 75 cents to one dollar a pound salt, five to six dollars a bushel of 5-0 pounds, and the cheapest kinds of calico brought one dollar a yard.
