I started as an apprentice wiring houses for $1 an hour. I thought I was rich.
That would buy 4 packs of cigarettes or 4 gallons of gasoline in 1961. I was only making $0.65 an hour, I had to buy one tire a week to get a whole new set. Then one of them blew out, they were Armstrong brand, times were sort of difficult on people without experience until they became more established.
