That's only 53 years ago!



'I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are,

it's going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $20.00.


'Have you seen the new cars coming out next year?

It won't be long before $2, 000.00 will only buy a used one.


'If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit.

25 cents a pack is ridiculous.


'Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging

10 cents just to mail a letter


'If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, nobody will be able

to hire outside help at the store.


'When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would

someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving

the car in the garage.


'I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more.

Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying DAMN in

GONE WITH THE WIND, it seems every new movie has either

HELL or DAMN in it.


'I read the other day where some scientist thinks

it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century.

They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing

for it down in Texas .


'Did you see where some baseball player just signed a

contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball?

It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be making

more than the President.

They are even making electric typewriters now.

I see where a few married women are having to

work to make ends meet.

to watch their kids so they can both work.



'I'm afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door

to a whole lot of foreign business.


'Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government

takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are

electing the best people to government.


'The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously

doubt they will ever catch on.


'There is no sense going on short trips anymore for a weekend,

it costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel.


'No one can afford to be sick anymore, at $35.00 a day in the hospital,

it's too rich for my blood.'


'If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it.'


Know any friends who would get a kick out of these, pass this on!

Be sure and send it to your kids and grand kids too!
