Most of you remember wages from 45 to 50 years ago. I earned $0.50 an hour unless we were bailing hay and I got a $1.00 an hour. When we were housing tobacco I earned $2.00 an hour or if I were cutting tobacco I earned $2.00 a hundred sticks (six stalks to the stick). I worked most of the summer to buy my first car, a 1947 Studebaker, for $60.00 and spent another $40.00 to put new tires all the way around and it cost another $125.00 to insure. A friend of my fathers slipped up on a BHE two barreled set for $100.00. Oh well.....
