1955 can you believe it
1955 - Can you believethis?
1955
Comments made in the year 1955 !
That's only54 years ago!
'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 $20.00.
'Have you seen the new cars coming out next year?
It won't be long before $2,000..00 will only buy a used one.
'If cigarettes keep going up in price,
I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous.
'Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a
dime 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 29 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 $75,000 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 are 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 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 congress.
'The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather,
But I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.
'There is no sense going to Lincoln orOmaha anymore
for a weekend, It costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay in a hotel.
'No one can afford to be sick anymore,
At $35.00 a day in the hospital it's too rich for my blood.'
'If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it.'
Know any friends who would get a kick
out of these, pass this on! Be sure and send
itto your kids and grandkidstoo!

I read an interesting article the other day about some farm land developers trying to bring framing back to old steel mill properties. Seems that under all of the blacktop and concrete is some of the best farming land. That would be a good thing to be able to grow and buy produce that isn't from Mexico or some other country.
