A History of Pickford

The Barish store in Pickford was started in 1911 by Joe Barish. The building was located next to Cameron's Drug Store. In the spring of 1913 Ben Oberman and Max Barish, Joe's brother, went into partnership with him. In those days money was scarce, so customers paid for goods with butter and eggs. Butter was $0.25 a pound and eggs $0.15 a dozen. ................
