Merthiolate burned like hell worse than iodine or alcohol. Both would stain the skin red. One or the other did get put cuts and scrapes. I would rather hide the wound than face Merthiolate.

Rabbit holler:Also called a "rabbit gum"; hollow log, usually sweet gum or sourwood, ( or box built out of rough lumber) box trap for rabbits. The log sections were also used for bee hives, known as "bee gums"... Straight drive : has a clutch, back then was usually a 3 speed on the column, known as "3 on the tree" Yep. I knew a Carolina boy would understand!

Camel brand tube patch kit's for bicycles. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/2fVhow4.jpg) That's an old memory. Also remember the "hot" patches that you lit with a match for auto tire tubes. Don't forget the steel clamp that held the " sizzle patch " on to the tube while the vulcanization occurred?

Sodas/pop in glass bottles....and not that Mexican [bleep].
I'd get a Bubble Up on Saturday or Sunday when Dad took me to the farm. Orange Crush, in a glass bottle. Ice cold out of the machine for a dime at the local grange supply. You put your empty in the bottle crate right beside the machine.

I remember when there wasn't anything called autism or aspergers or adhd. All symptoms of such undiagnosed conditions were cured with "Brownie"
Aka: the average father's 3" wide full grain leather belt.
AWDD Ass Whipping Deficit Disorder AWDD and "Brownie" Good stuff guys. It brings back memories of fearing my oldman's belt as a kid. Even though he only used it on me once. And yes, I had it coming

Walking into the local store with my shotgun in hand and my beagle at my side. No one ever said a word. Danny (the beagle) was just another customer at the store. He had his own water bowl over in the corner, and there was always a chunk of lunch meat waiting on him for a special treat. No one batted an eye at me carrying the old 870 into the store.

To All,
When I was a Freshman at UT (Austin) , I used to carefully drive to Waco because I could buy gas for 18.9 cents a gallon there & it was 24.9 most places in Austin.
(In those days, I drove a BRIGHT RED Hudson Metropolitan roadster & my gas bill for a month was sometimes as much as 10 bucks.)
WHITE CASTLE had 12 little burgers for a dollar on Tuesday after 7PM back then.
Wednesday night was THE PLANTATION at 19th & "Drag", with all you could eat southern fried chicken for 3.95 with drink.
Also SLICK'S CAFE had 60 cent plate lunches then, too.
(And Slick would sell us "underaged guys" Lone Star beer for 50 cents a long-neck, too.)
yours, tex You should of run down to the Sigmor on west Barton Springs across the street from the old Town Pump tavern. It was 19.9 a gallon. Filled up ever saturday night after getting paid working at concession stand at Barton Springs. Lots cheeper than driving to Waco!

Telephones that you had to "Dial".
Pay phones and phone booths.
Phones that had a bell and would ring.

When I was in high school, in the late 60's, I worked at a gas station that had s cigarette machine that sold 'em for 25 cents a pack.
Bottled soda pop was 10 cents, with a 3 cent deposit. Canned pop had to be opened with a can opener, and had no deposit.
