This country sure could sure use more of these Mom & Pop stores. Just down to earth good people. Thank you, Mr. John, for this video.
yes we sure need more stores like this one.
Wow good people! It is so good to see Americans still making a living in the mom and pop stores. Another keeper John.

Same here!

As a Ford Motor Company employee who has built the F-Series pickup for over twenty years, I'd like to thank Mr. Montgomery for continuing to support Ford Motor Company all these years since he left us. Thank you for showing us your store. I wish it were convenient for me to drop in for a visit and to say hello and thank you in person. Thanks, John, for introducing us to these wonderful folks.
A case and a Ford.
I had a neighbor or stop by the other day (new here) asking about my payments on my truck and how it was doing. I said, that’s a 2015 ford, first aluminum
Body, first they came out with. Im a widow and traded in my car for a 4wd trick. They have one of them electric little cars. I bought that truck with 22k miles on it, still from factory with warranty and paid cash.
I find it funny I have to explain myself to this day.
You gonna live in the mountains, you better have a 4wd truck. Especially if you a woman and alone.
Ds you pick up on, out of allll tat inventory… what the best seller was?
Water:
What would his parents and generations before think about buying water and. Being the best seller
In that store?
As another Ford employee, I wish we kept people and places like this in mind. I frequently feel like we forget the people who actually buy our vehicles.
Living 5 minutes from Montgomerys, growing up here, marrying here, raising my kids here.
Bill and his family are example of why our community is so great.
I thought I was old at 68 but they have been married 68 years. Makes me feel a little younger. Awesome video.👍

@@theappalachianchannel those price stickers on the items, really bring back memories for me. I remember going to the local, A&P with my mom and watching the stockers, put the prices on can goods, “pop, pop, pop,” one can at a time in seconds, it was a talent. Then, at the check out counter, the cashier, hitting the price keys on a large cash register without even looking, and the “Green Stamps,” that they would give out.
Hello from Ohio. Another great video John. ❤️❤️. Enjoy visiting with this lovely couple. ❤️

I lived up north in a small town in Washington State, it was a 45 min drive to the home Depot, there was a general store in town, been there forever, they had everything you could imagine..I lived there for 10 years, remodeled my house, worked on this and that..only one time in 10 yrs they didn't have what I needed, they were out of stock, so I waited till it came in, just out of respect....and their prices were great..loved that little store..
He is so correct. Without the Lord, life will not be a good life

Thank you.
thanks for watching my videos and the comment!
This brings tears to my eyes. This is a very heartwarming video.
This is the Embodiment of the "American Dream."
Foreigners who immigrated to these great lands in order to lead a better life... Creating establishments that were family run in order to bring their family and country's pride, to this great country of America.
Children who watched their parents run businesses and then decided to continue their parent's business.. That is the dream.
Sadly, so many do their own thing these days.
Awesome video john
Glad you enjoyed it
The prices of what I saw were really cheap and reasonable. Id like five or six rolls of that white mule tape cordage. He is right on the strength of it. It has a unreal breaking strength. In the thousands pounds rating compared to hundreds of pounds. The prices of his case knives are cheaper than around here in South Carolina. Enjoy your videos!
yes great prices for sure!
This was a great story,thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome
