About Us
Trader's Freight Lines was founded by Alexander Cammeron
in 1855 to haul freight down the
Santa Fe Trail to the
towns and settlers along the Trail using oxen and
horse drawn
freight wagons. Over the years
the freight service was handed down from father to son
to grandson, Alex Cammeron. Amy Cammeron, daughter
of Alex, took over the service when her father died and
she married Thomas Collins in 1880. Later, they changed the name to
Trader's Old West Freight. Eventually, the
Railroads took over much of the overland freight service
and Trader's Old West Freight ended business and became
a Mercantile Store North of Sante Fe, New Mexico around
1885. Through marriage, the business passed into the Workman
family with
Isaac Workman establishing his first store
in 1900 in Orbisonia, PA and then
The Village Store in Rockhill
Furnace, PA in 1905. Sadly, with the death
of
Edgar Workman in 1998 The
Village Store was sold out of the family,
however, members of the family have continued the
Mercantile tradition with their Internet business in the
Trader's Gifts family web sites.
We hope that you'll join us as we bring great gifts from
all over the Internet at some of the best prices around.
Sure we can't compete with the likes of Wal-Mart, Sam's
and Costco, however, we do bring you these selections at
your finger tips and we also deliver direct to your
door.
Thanks for stopping by.
Regards,
The Trader's Gifts Family
