<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 244876, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> That little chair brought back so many memories. When I was a child, there was a group of backwoods men I think from GA drove through the country side selling these little chairs and a sofa sized pieces. My frugal Grandmother broke down and spent 10 dollars buying the sofa, chair and three of these smaller chairs for the grandkids. She put them out in the back thinking she might paint them white. The next morning when she went out, the furniture was missing. There was NEVER ever any stealing in our small neck of the boondocks. Two days later my Gram found out the lady three farms over from us bought the set from the guys that sold her set. Gram called the state police and reported the robbery. Mrs Gordon who bought the set sent them over to Gram. Gram was still angry. The guys were never caught but that "furniture" was the most talked about thing in the area. It seems that they sold the same set to three other people before my Gram bought it. </p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
