Hi Everyone! I am Mary Musgrove, one of the key people in
founding Georgia, I make my living by selling supplies at a
trading post near the Savannah River. A trading post is a
store established in an unsettled region by a trader or
trading company to obtain furs and local products in
exchange for supplies, clothing, other goods, or for cash. I
have to be VERY dependable to make sure you and your
family are able to purchase food and materials you need in
order to live.

How do you purchase what you
need from Mary’s trading post?
• One of the ways to purchase supplies from the trading post is
by using money (coins and bills). Money has been around for
a VERY long time……
