| 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 $10.00.
Have you seen the new cars
Did you hear the post office is
I'm afraid to send my kids to the
I never thought I'd see the day
I'm afraid the Volkswagen car
There is no sense going on short
No one can afford to be sick
If they think I'll pay 30 cents for a haircut, forget it.

| Oh, how well I remember almost all of those! We used to take our kids for a treat of the 15 cent Macdonald's hamburgers. Milkshakes were also 15 cents. Bear in mind, though that salaries were in the $5000 to $8000 per year range. Guess everything is relative. |

| In 1955 we had a 4 year old and an 8 year old. Never took them to a McDonald's. Don't think there even was one where we lived. A treat was the Ice Cream truck. Even the dog waited for that when he heard the ding-a-ling. In those days, DH was working and pursuing a college degree in order to be a school teacher, and you can imagine what our finances were! Always had my eye on a (blue) Chevy Bel Aire, never got it, . but many years later got a used '65 Chevy Malibu Classic Station Wagon with glass pack mufflers! Yeah, those days were tough, but great!

| I graduated in 1955. I loved the clothes women wore back then, so feminine. |
|
| Just wanted you to see the dress I was wearing back in the 50's. I tried to do this in this forum, but it was to large and distorted. Tried Photobucket this time. |
|
| In that era, autos cost roughly $1 per pound. |
|
| I remember Mom sending me to the store. Milk was 25 cents a quart, hamburger was 49 cents a pound. |

| LOL Neat photos and comments. I had that 2 dr. hardtop red and white 55 Chevy! Of course I didn't get it until 1980! LOL It was every bit as slick looking as the one in the photo, though! :) |

| Emma love your pic. I also love some of the styles from back then. Love the dress, love the shoes. Girls were more feminine. Now if they could only keep todays independence and opportunities but dress nicer than they do now...... Maybe that's why I like the movie Shining Through so much. |
