Once they got to Bennett Street in the Old Village, Royall would hit the road. “We had an old garden cart. I’d put the vegetables in the cart and walk around selling cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet corn. Corn was 50 cents a dozen,” he said. He had a regular route and regular customers and worked the vegetable circuit for about a two-month stretch each summer. Royall has owned Royall Ace Hardware on Coleman Boulevard for 41 years, a job he plans on keeping for the foreseeable future. “I’ve got a few good years left,” he said. Danny Causey Owner • Causey’s Barber Shop Danny Causey has been cutting hair at his barber shop for more than 50 years, but he still remembers a time when he made a few dollars doing an honest day’s work of solid manual labor. He grew up on his father’s farm on Highway 41. Back then, Causey recalled, a farm out on 41 was a desolate outpost. “Nobody would go home with me. Said I lived too far out in the woods,” he commented. On the farm, he was put to work for 50 cents an hour, digging ditches, pulling weeds and working the garden. He remembered sitting under a big oak tree and shelling butterbeans. “Kids wouldn’t even know what to think if they had to do that today,” he said. His father also had muscadines, and he let young Danny tend seven rows, which he would pick and then sell to the Piggly Wiggly. When he got a little older, he took a job with Southern Electric, sweeping the floors and fetching tools for the electricians. “I made $1.25 an hour. I thought I was gonna get rich,” he recalled.
