At 62 I do remember Brill Cream.
The milkman would always dump the left over dry ice on our street and we would throw it in the brook.
Milk bottle caps we used for paint cups in school.
Making dog tags at Woolworth's.
The knife sharpener guy would come down the street and would ring his bell.
Milk machines.
Toilets with the pull chain.
Those were the good old days....

This was our first TV, I found the pix of it on the web, it is not my pix.
It was a GE Model 805 I believe, looked a lot like an oscilloscope and had a 10" viewing area.
The CRT (picture tube) was actually perfectly round, and the cabinet was Bakelite.

This is the town I lived in....
https://www.knowol.com/wp-content/up...-1924-SM-1.jpg

I lived off Lafayette ave, but my street was not there yet until the 50's.

That overview was a mural was on the wall in the police / fire station, something to look at while your getting booked...
It is still there.

The only one I didn't remember was the butch wax. I guess I'm in the older than dirt club and proud of it. What a great era to grow up in.

I'm a member of the older than dirt club.

Those memories are some of the best parts of my life.

At times, my parents could not afford the $2 a ton for coal to heat the house,,
so, my dad would bring home old telephone poles from work.
(Dad worked as a lineman for the phone company)

Mom and dad uses a 2-person crosscut saw to cut the poles, then they were tossed in the furnace,,

Our house billowed out clouds of black smoke from the creosote in the poles.
BUT, that gravity furnace heated the two story house nicely,,,
(a gravity furnace had no fan, only convection moved the air through the giant ducts)

The year I was born, my parents changed the house over to gas heat.

Mom would send me to Bellevue PA once a month,, to pay the $6-$8 gas bill.

Apparently I am a member of the "Don't tell your age" club.

Here's one for you. Try telling someone 35 or under about student bus drivers. You get some real puzzled looks.

Yes, southern states were frequently using students as bus drivers.,, how about lessons on how to drive a trolley??

This was a trolley that came within a couple miles from my house,,

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
