Selling eggs from Irvine Flats homestead in Polson during the 1930's and 1940's

My dad (for this blog - Georgie Halverson) was telling me a story little while ago about selling eggs on the Irvine Flats ranch.

The Halverson homestead had a chicken house (which I still remember fondly) which housed many chickens. 

The Halverson's would collect about 300 eggs periodically and take them into town, Polson. Polson was about 17 miles from the homestead.

They would also take about 6 live chickens into town along with the eggs.

Rose and Georgie and perhaps George would take them to Mallorys store and they  would buy the eggs and in turn sell them to customers. The store would also buy the chickens to sell, also. 

Taking the eggs and chickens into Mallory's allowed them to exchange for groceries. 

The store was owned by a Mr. Mallory. Mr. Mallory was the grandfather of Georgie's best friend Elliot Johnson (his maternal grandfather. I believe that Mallorys was on Main Street in Polson.

Mallorys was located on Main Street about two blocks up from the highway.

Note: I need to check on the name of the grocery store.

 Later - I talked to George (Georgie) and he said that the name of the store was Mallorys.
