(7,473 posts)How about the bread deliveryman, twice a week with fresh bread. My house, only wheat bread, Mom would not buy white bread.
The list is so long. Roller skates with a key and they clipped on your shoes? Part time jobs that paid 90 cents an hour? Walking to school? It was almost 2 miles and we did it daily. If you got into trouble, you had detention and walked home! Gym suits that had 'bloomers, one piece , the ugliest things ever created.
I aced this list above and could probably spend a week listing all the old time "remember when's".
BTW, I still have a can of Butchers wax. Loved the smell of that stuff! When you were lucky enough to have a nickel, you could buy a bottle of Coke after putting your arm down into the ice water in those old red Coke bins.How about real 'Penny Candy'. The real good stuff. Oh, the good old days.
