THE YEAR WAS 1955

 

All I can say is "THOSE WERE THE DAYS "

 

 

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 25 cents a gallon? 
Guess we'd be better off leaving  the car in the garage.

Did you see where some baseballplayer 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 must 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 they will ever catch on.

There is no sense going on short trips any more for a weekend. 

It costs nearly $2.00 a night to stay in a hotel.

No one can afford to be sick anymore. At $15.00 a day in the hospital;

it's too rich for my blood.

If they think I'll pay 30 cents for a haircut, 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  grandkids, too!
