| 词汇 | country stores |
| 词源 | country stores. Far from being “fancy” or “citified,” Ameri- can country stores traded with customers everywhere in rural areas. For more than 20 years after paper bags were invented in 1850, clerks were still wrapping most packages into “pokes,” brown wrapping paper adeptly shaped into cornucopias, folded over, and tied with string. See country pay. |
