In early Culpeper, citizens had little choice as to where to do their shopping, but the prices at the few stores that did exist were reasonable. For example, everything at Latham ' s Five and Ten, pictured above, was in ac- tuality a nickel or a dime. Today these same items would cost anywhere from three to twenty dollars. Sure prices are exorbitant, but at least Culpeper is now blessed with a variety of stores located downtown and in the two shopping centers. Many people still go out of town to do their shopping, but most have found that it pays to “try Cul- peper first.
