My mother would bring a treat from the "Dope Stand" home for me and my brother, Lee, when she got off her shift in the Osprey mill. It would usually be a candy bar. The dope stand was where snacks, soft drinks, and probably cigarettes were sold. Soft drinks were considered to have "dope" in them in those days.
