I remember when.....
In 1963 I bought (and still have) a used Winchester model 63 for $65 bucks in Downtown Indianapolis and
carried it unsheathed to the circle and up the monument without a second glance from anyone.
Couple years later a used Ruger 357 with leather for $50.
Colt 22 pistols for $35 used.
Rebuilt 56 Chevy 3 speed tranny for $35 with trade in.
My Mother bought $1 of gas each week whether she needed it or not.
Cigarettes were $.25 a pack.
I could get 4 coney dogs and a large root beer and 3 cents change back from a dollar.
