Children might run errands for their parents in the years before World War II. These errands were often associated with meals. This was necessary before refrigerators and freezers were common. A lot of food was purchased fresh. They might also pick up items after school. Towns would have market areas. Children would thus pick up bread or other bnecesities. After World War II, shopping took on very different character. We are less sure about shopping for clothes and other items, but it is an interesting topic to be persued.
