Shopping Oddities in Michigan and Montana

Shopping Oddities in Michigan

What sort of authority makes the rules governing shopping in Michigan on Sundays? According to a correspondent, they include these oddities: — People can buy a tennis racket and balls on Sunday, but only if they intend to use them within a mile of the shop. — They can buy a screwdriver, too, but only for such emergencies as "acts of God, or war on public enemy". — They can buy a raincoat but not an overcoat, furniture for outdoor use only, and meat for their dogs but not for them. Private shopkeepers, supermarkets and discount houses' are seeking an injunction to stop these nightmarish rules, In the correspondent adds. mo I must say that in the paradise of "free enterprise" thev do seem outlandish.

In wit Montana makes its history a thing of joy (Montana history guide on essay help org. Every so often along the highways — maybe twenty miles apart, sometimes fifty miles — you'll see a neat sign: HISTORICAL POINT- 1000 FEET. The historical message is painted in black letters a couple of inches high. The message is not only easy to read; it says something - for instance, this one a few miles off Shelby: THE OILY BOID GETS THE WOIM (The early bird gets the worm). In other states you never see a car in front of those stone monuments witn their bronze inscriptions. But in Montana you hardly ever pull up toa historical sign without finding a car or two already there, with people out copying the inscription, and chuckling.
