View of residents and horse-drawn wagons on market day in Eyshishok prior to World War I.
Economic life in Eyshishok revolved around the market square and the weekly market that was held there on Thursdays. The marketplace square in the center of town was home to many of the town’s shops and businesses. Clientele included the Jewish and Polish townspeople and the Polish peasants.
