Everything from nails to nuts...

At the Star Mercantile
100+ years old

This is where you head at 8pm at night..
on a snowy winter's night...
cuz you need more Kahlua` for your Christmas bread..
and you tuck your PJ's in to your snow boots..
and put your winter jacket round your real tight...
and mittens on your hands...and a beanie on your head...
and you drive 1 mile down the road
to buy your prized possession...

After all, you have to make this bread, right?
and they wrap your bottle in a brown paper bag...
and as you walk out of the 'Merc'
on that winter's night..
You think to yourself..
'this must be what a bum feels like'
and you smile at your bravery...
