"IT IS THE GREATEST! From candy that is weighed up individually like the old 5 and dime to things
that you could never imagine that they still made and you need them NOW. The people running
the store were very helpful as to local things to see in the area as well. It was like stepping back
into the childhood of yesterday. Loved it and I am sure you will as well."

"Just like it says-a leap back in time. No steps back here! Not a big store but a packed one,
endless cool stuff it seemed. Kids loved the tin toys and staff attitude. Neat soap included tar
soap and lye. Good selection of nostalgic candy- chocolate covered walnuts are exceptional. Old
things I remember like cedar boxes and several tins of salve. Really a neat place"

"A short detour off US 50 takes you to quaint Harrisville, where Berdine's Five and Dime, the
nation's oldest such store, still stocks penny candy at an antique confection counter, along with
every other imaginable item, from the frivolously fun to the solidly functional. Original oak
shelves and counters, tin ceilings and vintage lighting add a nostalgic glow."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Just
around the corner from Centaur is Berdine's five and dime. An actual dime store that has been in
business for over a 100 years, Berdine's offers an amazing selection of old time and contemporary
merchandise. Berdine's offers homemade candy, wooden and tin toys, old fashion salves and
ointments and more than you can imagine all in a period building. "
