I remember a year round deer lease with turkey, dove, quail, & ducks. Also had a nice fishing pond. $600 bucks a year.

PS: Cheapest I remember gasoline was 37 cents a gallon.
If this were the 'Troll' thread, I'd say i remembered muskets before center-fires came along.

Standard price for gas was always 36.9 (there were no hurricanes or refinery fires in those days), unless there was a gas war. The cheapest I remember was at Timberlane DX in Boone at either 22.9 or 23.9.

how about the foot XRay machines? There was a viewing port for the owner of the feet, as well as two angled ports for interested parties. Mom would never let me look, probably ignoring what was being done to my feet, while worrying about my eyes. She and the salesman would be looking in the angled ports.

DMc I read somewhere that the feds started that with gas taxes. They started taxing the gas companies .3 cents per gal for highway construction. The gas companies weren't going to eat that .3 cents so they added another .6 cents to cover that and then some padding. Since no one thinks a thing about a fraction of a cent, nobody squawked and they've been doing it ever since.

Lets not forget Tupperware parties. The ladies loved them for years but they died when companies like Rubbermaid started selling in stores. Tupperware refused to follow suit and they about died. Their high prices didn't help much, either.

A 'solid nickel' would buy a Baby Ruth the size of a good ear of corn and Jack's Cookies with the scalloped edges were 'twofers' aka two for a penny! Grandmother would take me out to the chicken yard with the .22 rifle and show me the old hen she wanted. She'd go back inside and I'd sit down by the net wire fence, poke the rifle through and rest it and when the old hen got just right....I put a slug through it's ear! I also ran the hens down on occasion and wrung their necks. Next operation was dipping the old hen or rooster in a pot of boiling water and pulling all the feathers off! I can still smell that odor on occasion! And we couldn't have iced teal unless the ICE MAN had come for the ICE BOX! Life was a helluva lot more simple in the '40s!

Their high prices didn't help much, either. Tupperware's patent expired. Then came Rubbermaid, etc. DMc : )

Their high prices didn't help much, either. My wife's family were given to the lure of direct sales. She, fated to follow suit, took a shot at selling Tupperware. The highlight of her career came the night that she went to conduct a party, rank the bell, announced her presence to the lady who opened the door, waltzed on in, blithering away with inane banter, and began to set up, before being informed that she had the wrong address.

I remember getting off the school bus in the afternoon at the country store and buying a Coke and bag of chips. I would hand the old guy a quarter and he would give me a nickel back. Barely remember Cokes in the short bottle for a nickel.

IIRC Cokes were 6 1/2 oz. 7-Up was a whopping 7 ounces!

There was a Coke machine at the IH dealer where Dad was partsman. It was a nickel for a small bottle. You dropped in the coin and pulled a lever, which slid a bottle down. The only thing was, it was randomly stocked with both Coke and 7-Up, so you never knew what you were going to get. Then it was over to the penny peanut dispenser.
