For us old gaffers, do any remember flashlight batteries that had the paper tube on them? School lunch milk in half pint glass bottles, with a paper cap?
Any more? Maybe the young bucks on the 'fire, will lean a few things about the ancient days?
In first grade 1956 we had milk 3 cents in a glass bottle. We said grace before eating.
Both of those were gone in 1957.
I was in 1st grade in 1953... Our teacher was so old, that the next year they invented cheese.. But yep - milk bottles (glass) with the paper insert on top.. Coke at the drug store was .10 cents - and that was for a 'large'.. Fuel oil was between 10-12 cents/gallon - delivered.. The only radios in vehicles was AM... Postage stamps for a letter cost .03...
Our home phone number was only 3 digits - and it was on a party line with 7 other families.. What a pita.. If I wanted to call the shop in Hudson I hadda get the operator and ask for "Hudson number 9"...
Unreal..
