1955

The year was 1955 THE TOUGH 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  baseball   player 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 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   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  this?

                              

Be   sure   to  send it to your kids and grandkids, too!
