In the fourth grade during recess, we
would buy the 6 oz glass bottle cokes and
added salted peanuts.
I worked part-time in the summer with
Canada Dry Bottling Co.
During the hot summers riding in
those delivery trucks, it was common
for the bottles to pop from the heat
and shaking caused by the bumpy
roads.
Back then glass bottles came with caps
with cork inside the bottle cap.
We’d remove the cork and
attached the caps to our t-shirts.
The cork was placed inside the shirt
to hold the cap in place.
As some sort of decoration which we
thought was “cool” looking!
Comic books were ten cents. My favorites
were “Classic Illustrated”, although they
cost more.
These books along with Stag or Confidential magazines
for adults could be found at the local barber shop.
The comfortable barber chair, aroma
of the place with all the hair-tonics,
hot soap lather, the small radio broadcasting
a baseball game is now gone but not
forgotten.
