That man is a national treasure

Ralph reminds me of my daddy. I could spend all day listening to Ralph. Thanks John.

I cannot express how many fond memories that Ralph and your old country store series brings back to me. I long for those days to return even though I know they will never be again. As a young toe headed boy through the late 60s and on into their closing I would be so excited to be with my dad to visit sawmill floor country stores and gaze to the dirt beneath to the silver coins that had slipped through the cracks. I would watch my dad as he would talk with everyone and catch up with his friends. I clearly remember the little 50cents jack knives that were in a paper display on the counter of every store as well as the moon pie’s and RC Cola’s. I’m stopping here,but I just wanted you to know what this means to a lot of people such as myself.

It's Good to See Ralph Laugh!

Thanks John. Love to see Ralph, brings back memories

I just love "Old Timers". Their stories are the best and so missed in a lost woke world.

Thank you again John. I appreciate the Love Lisa has for her Daddy in looking out for him. Ralph is so funny with the comments he makes.

Ralph is the coolest

Good stuff. Ralph is a great man. And as many of our elders. They have earned to be treated well and cared for as you all do with Ralph . It is good to see. They have and can teach people more than any school or book ever could. Respect. Morales. Values are hard to find these days. They are called the greatest generation for a reason. And needed more these days than ever. Learn all you can it will benefit you in many ways thew out your life. Great job great to see good people taking care of our best treasures. And ralph dam sure is. Thanks for sharing him. Great job . Look forward to the next one. Be well all the best to gresy holler.

I see Ralph still has a sense of humor. You can tell he was and still is a honest man. If those walls could talk. I can only imagine the memories he has that keep him going.the end was funny. Continued Good Health to Ralph. Hope he continue to share the memories. Love, respect and positivity always. ✌️🖖🕯️✨🌻🙂👋. Vee, Andrew and Family.😁👾👣.

I’d love to see and actually have that old singer. I still fix them up and sew and quilt on the vintage singers. They’re my favorite

Its so interesting listening to Ralph

Old timers like ralph are the best.what u see is what u get.

I love how kind you all are to Ralph. We need to talk to and listen to the elderly more. So much wisdom and stories!

Loved this Video. Just Love Ralph!!

Wow. That was something special

Ralph is the Pimp Daddy, I love the Man I swear, he doesn’t give a damn wether or not you like it or not.

i could spend a week inside that place for sure !! Best regards from Sweden !! Tell Ralph Sweden did say hi !

I love to hear Ralph talk and the memories he shares. Thanks, John! Great video!

First to add a comment. That's a lot of work cleaning that up. I need to clean up my accumulation and let someone else store it for me. Thanks for the video.

Hi from Australia- love these stories and I was really interested in the old china dog statues on the shelves xxx

That was a good one!!!

I bet that was an awesome general store

The one little guy had beautiful hair. My dad had curly hair like that but was lighter. My dad was almost white headed when little, he was so blond. I enjoyed your videos, it sparks my own memories. You know, the memories you do not think on, the ones stored in the attic of your own mind.

6 dollars!? Were paying double that in the uk!!!!

That yellow and black flashlight was a common item used at the Papermill in Georgetown S.C. That is really an item from the past.

Neat.

I'm saw the thumbnail and I said to myself that looks like TC from SMKW.....and it was...haha. Small world.

A lot of small town America is disappearing withe closing of stores like these. In my area there was an old soda fountain shop from the 20’s that closed down a few years ago. If you want to see the shop, it was in a movie staring Brendon Frazier called “School Ties”. At the start of the movie the shop is featured.

great video

That dollar bill was probably the first dollar the store ever made his mom and dad oh my goodness he’s a character he on the boys tail about not getting his picture fast enough

Hey man i like that you make these

Don’t feel bad, a pack of Marlboro’s in Massachusetts are almost $13 bucks a pack!

When I was in the military I could buy a carton of Marlboros for $1.65 at the commissary in the mid 70's.

Those Cheese boxes look like the Government Cheese my mother would buy from people for $5.00 a box to help feed all of us kids and all of our friends that knew mama would always feed them if they were Hungry.

hope you do more videos of ralph

Made me quit smoking 45 bucks a carton a week. I figured that was a car payment so I quit in 2012 and had 3 new trucks since then.

Man I sure wish I could get a pack of Marlboros for $6... They're like $12+ in Maryland.

When you think about it, How many Ralphs do you know? It seems like such a common name, but I have never met a Ralph in my life I don't think. Fred is another name which seems common, but you hardly ever meet a Fred (I took Fred as my online name cause I think it's cool lol) Long live RALPH!!

They use to call those old dollar oversized bills, “shinplasters”

A pack of cigarettes in Australia $54

Where is this store? Is it open to the public?

I bet Ralph was a force to deal with, I bet he would get liquored up and Fight the guys around there.
