Gazette Chronicle

Five and Ten

Five and Ten From the Nov. 30, 1979 edition of the Vineyard Gazette:

The north end of Tisbury’s Main street will change dramatically this winter, ending the era of the town five-and-ten-cent store when fistfuls of candy were bought for a penny and household trinkets were bagged for two-bits.

Ben Franklin’s five-and-ten-cent store will be converted into offices and a collection of stores by the new owners, Reid A. Dunn of Washington and Tisbury and Andrew A. Flake, also of Tisbury. They bought the building and the property for $100,000 from Benjamin W. Coggins.
