Thanksgiving Day Wasn't a Big Deal in Some Robeson Homes, 1918

From the front page of The Robesonian, Lumberton, N.C., Nov. 25, 1918

Stores Closed Thursday

“Don’t forget to impress it upon the country people that Lumberton stores will be closed Thursday—Thanksgiving Day” is the way one Lumberton merchant put it to The Robesonian.

While it is always customary for local stores to close on Thanksgiving Day many country people seem to forget that fact and come to town for shopping purposes. Remember that it may mean a trip without avail if you should come to Lumberton to shop Thursday of this week.
