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.
<clip_image011.jpg>
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!
<clip_image016.jpg>
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.
