yup yup yup I'm older than dirt lol ...
1. I was a manager for a Drive In Theatre that was built in 1940 in the 80's for several years. Started out as a concession stand worker and projectorist.
2. Those candies was like eating chalks!
3. I had one and played Elvis records on it from Sunset Studio
4. I had no use for telephones, I spent most of my life outdoor.
5. My parents would only allow me to drink a bottle of soda on Saturday only.
6. My hair was oily enough on it own
7. A family member had one and it was too rough to ride in.
8. Never tried that gum before
9. Us boys were squirming in our chairs when we learn we had to take cooking and sewing classes.
10. Ours were the Ben Franklin stores.
11. Mine came with a thermos that had mirror glass container inside which broke in within the first week.
12. Played on a player from #3
13. Never had apple wine but heard of it.
14. My tongue curled up in a ball reading that sentence.
15. Any kids owning one of those are considered to be in middle class income bracket.
16. We had metal box out on the porch for it.
17. Most memorable candy! Either bite off the top off and gulp it down or throw the whole bottle in mouth and chew on it sucking down the pop then spit out the wax.
Yup OLDER than DIRT!

Still common in Mexico. Some are absolutely spotless.
When we lived in Denver CO. my dad in the Air Force, had access to the hobby shop on base.
Back in the early 60's they still did aluminum skin work and he was a carpenter too. He took a
1958 Chevy Panel truck and sawed off the back part of the roof making it look like a pick-up.
He then constructed what would now be a "slide-in" complete with an over-head with a window.
A propane oven/stove vented to the outside and a water tank made from an O2 bottle into a
small sink vented out too.
On the road from Denver to Yellowstone, mom baked a ham with mashed potatoes plus all the
fixings for a sit down Sunday dinner. Pulling off to the side of the road to eat, snugly I might add,
a Highway Patrol Officer pulled in behind us in amazement! He ate dinner with us and pop showed
him around as this kind of thing was "new". What a way to go camping!

My grandfather used to repo motorcycles during the 30s and 40s. Had a specially built sidecar and an assistant. They'd find the bike in question and wait for the owner to park it somewhere. Then they'd race up, put the bike in the sidecar and race away as fast as he could. Ended up being the shop manager for the same company. Worked there for almost 50 years.
