Antique typewriters, calculators and other office equipment fill a room behind a thick bank vault door.         Rifles and shotguns of every type, caliber and gauge are displayed in a secure case for easy viewing. They were collected by Clark S. Smith, longtime owner of Smith's Sporting Goods in Paso Robles.     Step up to the counter at the country store and step back in time to the days of asking the store clerk for each item desired.       The post office, as part of the general store, takes one back in time to Mr. Patsey Dunn's store, which housed the very first post office in Paso Robles. The pigeonhole boxes on display are from San Miguel.     The pioneer housewife worked hard. The  wood-burning cook stove behind her was used to  heat irons for pressing clothes. The fire in the stove had to be kept burning to heat the irons and  also so the wife could cook three substantial meals each day. Regardless of how hot it might be outside, the fire in the cook stove had to be kept alive.   The bedroom scene shows items typical of the olden days --- lamps, candles, handmade quilts, baby carriages, water pitcher and large bowl. A wreath made of human hair is displayed on the wall. CLICK HERE FOR NEXT PAGE PLEASE
