One can remember when hardware stores would break a box of ammo. Used to go in and get maybe 27 cents worth of 22 LR's.
Ha. If you used to buy a whole box box of 22 LR for 27 cents.
Cheapest I remember was 49 cents in the 'fifties.
And, if you can't remember chitt. I may have been paying 35 cents for a box of shorts. I couldn't afford the high dollar stuff.
Wasnt it 3 cents for a pop bottle, 7 cents for a good Winchester high brass paper 12 ga shell? Maybe old man Maxey gave us kids a break.
He got our business because he was the first store we got to on our walk to town.
