År 1846 blev det tillåtet att öppna handelsbod i Sverige om den låg mer än tre mil från en stad. Förbudet mot handel fanns i en gammal förordning i Kristoffers landslag från medeltiden som koncentrerade all handel till städerna. Tremils-begränsningen upphörde 1864.
De första handlarna var ofta bönder som öppnade handel under enkla former. Lanthandeln av den äldre modellen innehöll alltid en disk med manuell expediering av varorna. Numera är lanthandeln på utdöende till förmån för de större matvarujättarna i städernas utkanter. Intill platsen för denna cache finns ett gult hus. Här husserade den sista lanthandeln i Ädelfors som stängde i början av 2000-talet. Under en period fanns dock så många som tre lanthandlare samtidigt i Ädelfors. "Lanthandelns dag" firas vanligtvis sista lördagen i juli månad.

In 1846, it became permitted to open a country store in Sweden if it was more than three mil from a city. The ban on rural trade was in an old regulation of the Kristoffers Landlaw from the Middle Ages that concentrated all trade to the cities. The Threemils-limit expired in 1864.
The first traders were often farmers who opened the trade in simple forms. The stores of the older model was always with a manual dispatch of the goods. Today, rural trade are dying out for the benefit of the larger supermarkets in cities. Next to the location of this cache is a yellow house. There was the last country store in Ädelfors that closed in the early 2000s. For a period, however, were as many as three rural traders, while in Ädelfors. "Country Store day" is celebrated usually last Saturday in July.
