1955

 

 

1955 - Merely, 62  Years Ago…These comments made in the year  1955! 

 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 coming out  next year? 

It  won't be long  before $1,000.00  will only buy a  used one. 

If  cigarettes keep going up  in price, I'm  going to quit; 20  cents a pack is ridiculous. 

Did you hear  the post office  is  thinking  about charging 7  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  more than 20 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 $50,000 a  year just to play  ball? 

It  wouldn't   surprise me if  someday  they'll be  making more than  the President.. 

 

I never  thought I'd see the  day  all our  kitchen appliances would be electric.

They're even  making electric  typewriters now. 

 

It's too bad  things are so  tough   nowadays.   I see where a  few  married  women   are having  to  work to make  ends meet. 

 

It won't be  long before young couples are going to have to hire someone  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 fast  food restaurant  is convenient  for a quick  meal, but I  seriously doubt  theywill ever  catch on. 

 

There is no  sense going on  short  trips  anymore for a weekend.  It costs nearly  $2.00 a night to  stay in a  motel! 

 

No one can  afford to be  sick  anymore. At  $15.00 a day in the hospital, it's too rich  for my  blood. 

 

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

Be sure and send it to your  kids.
