Our own vintage town

[HudsonHawk]

For coffee you have a choice of Maxwell House, Chase & Sanborn, Bokar, Yuban, Eight O'Clock, S. S. Pierce, Savarin, Sanka, or Kaffee Hag. (Or if you west coast people insist, MJB, Hills Bros. and Folger's.)

Anyone who drinks Folgers should be shackled to the stocks in the public square and pelted with vicious and particularly nasty epithets. That's the devil's coffee.

I'll take Savarin coffee. As far as Campbell's soups go, though I'd prefer Printanier in the spring, Scotch Broth the year 'round, and Ox-Tail in winter.

JamesPowers - What job!?

What job!?

Times are tough, kid...the only things we got open right now are automat, jukebox or cigarette machine. I might be able to get you something temporary as a gas pump, but you need a pair of asbestos overalls. Oh, or hat-check girl. How are your gams?

 

[Shangas]

I can cook. I can work in an automat kitchen!

 

[Nobert]

Better than my last job. People would stand on my feet and I'd have to tell them their weight, then they'd take a little card with their fortune on it out of my shirt pocket.

 

[Foxer55]

I will step in as the Fixed Base Operator (FBO) for the airport and director and chief driver at the local raceway.

 

[Fibber Mcgee]

I'll be the reporter on the "Night beat"

Ok then we have that place nearly staffed.

Back in the 60s and 70s I used to love going to the A&P with my grandmother. As soon as you walked through the front door you could smell the Eight O'clock coffee being ground at one of the red grinders located on the end of the checkout counters. Even today when I smell fresh ground coffee I'm automatically transported back to the A&P and those days. Unfortunately, they closed all the A&P stores years ago where I live.
