In the 1940s and ‘50s, Tommy Glasco had a second-hand store on East Liberty Street.
Just inside the front door was a glass jar filled with used dentures and anyone who needed new choppers could just step inside and try the used false teeth on for size. Or maybe swap old dentures for new ones, or for something else in the Wooster store.
