It is 1945 and the Angola housewife needs groceries. More than likely she does not have a car, but living in town is a handy accommodation. She can walk to what is now Coachlight, what was Bob's Sports Shop, what was then Kroger's.
Here is her list and the prices of her groceries for her family:
Spotlight Coffee 3# bag for 59 cents
Gingerbread Mix 2 pkg. for 35 cents
Kidney Beans 3 18 oz. cans for 27 Cents
Sauer Kraut 2 jars for 35 cents
Navy Beans 1# for 11 cents
Rolled Oats 1 pkg. 11 cents
Potato Chips 1 bag 25 cents
Pack it all up and walk on home.
And that is The Voice of Angola, 1945
