If you are unfamiliar , The Vermont Country Store is the last refuge for the weird and wonderful.Looking for a pot holder loom, just like you used in camp? They have it.
Lanz of Salzburg jammies. It's there.
If you remember it, they most likely have it. It's a wonderful place to visit.
The store opened in 1946. Mr. Vrest Orton found the merchandise, his wife, Mrs. Mildred Orton compiled their catalog, did the book work, processed the orders and paid the bills. Mrs. Orton was active in the store until 1978.
The store now managed by their son, and his children mails 30 million catalogs per year.
Mrs. O died May 6 at age 99. Her family's tribute is moving in its affection for a wonderful mother, grandmother and probably in her day a tough boss.
Our condolences to the family.
