gas & cigarettes both at .19 each. Don't think the current wages are similar. Those dust bowl days sure were hard on people. Steve in so la

And I can remember a horse drawn carriage bringing ice blocks for the ice box and doctors that made house calls. Gas was 25 cents per gallon. Often great grand father traded some of his crops for something of equal value from another farmer. One day a man wanted to barter for great grand fathers oats. They talked for a while and great grand father finally said, "If you want top quality oats, you have to pay for top quality oats. On the other hand, if you don't mind them being passed through the horse one time, they're considerably less."

HA,HA, MARTY THAT WAS COOL
In 1959 in Lubbock,texas. they were having a gas war---you are going to find this to hard to believe.regular gas was 95 octane at .10 cents a gallon and super was 103 octane @ 12 cents a gallon.i was a junior in high school and had to mow yards when I got to the station I would pour a gallon in a clear gallon root-beer bottle container and the super gas was a cherry-purple color
first time I had a pizza --yuck did not like it
What a time all the muscle cars were out and CHEV ruled the roost, we had drag races every Friday and Saturday night.
