In Ye Olden Days 
In looking over some old family be- 
longings which had been stored in the 
old family homestead in Essex for 
years, Winthrop F. Low of Beverly 
Farms came across many old papers 
which are certainly interesting to 
read, giving the reader a clear idea of 
the way business was conducted in 
ye olden days. The papers are 
yellow with age, and somewhat de- 
cayed, and the writing, though clear 
and well preserved, is in some cases 
difficult to read owing to the old-fash- 
ioned way of making the letters and

of spelling. For instance, one docu- 
ment pertains to pasturing a cow, but 
is written ‘“ cough.’’ Another interest- 
ing document is that pertaining to- 
binding out to work for a term of six 
years and three months a boy to 
“Jearn the mystery of making malt 
and oat-meal.”” This contract is duly 
signed by all concerned and bears the 
date 1735. After reading all of the 
requirements set forth in the con- 
tract one can easily see that boys in 
the days of our great-great-grand- 
fathers had to work. :
