Sale Day In 1966 Jill was 10 years old Her family was moving to a new city Their kitchen table was too big for their new home They planned to sell it They had other items to sell too So they held a rummage sale Today rummage sales are often called yard sales or garage sales 5 Chapter 1
Before the internet pinning signs to bulletin boards was one way to tell people about events They gathered items they wanted to sell They put a sticker on each one to show the price On the day of the sale they set up tables in their yard They put the items out on the tables Jill made 6
signs Each sign told the time and address of the sale Jill put one at the end of her street People stopped by Jill’s home to shop They paid for items with cash Jill’s mom gave them change with money she got from the bank She wrote what was sold in a notebook Of course people still have sales today But many people find it easier to buy and sell items online Websites such as Craigslist and Amazon are popular choices 7
