In the late forties coke was three cents a bottle in the machine at the gas station next door.It was in a smaller bottle than the nickle bottle that they sold later.That same station sold shorts longs and long rifles for 35, 45 and 55 cents and shotgun shells were 3,25 for Peters hi velocity.We never wore shoes in the summer and our bikes took us those places to far to walk.Every small store had its own brand of guns you could buy with the proceeds from your paper route.No one had no trespassing signs and kids with guns was an accepted thing.I wonder how there could be so many changes in such a short period of time.
