FOR THOSE OF YOU NOT AROUND IN 1957 SEE WHAT
YOU MISSED!!! Remember this?
The following were some comments made in the year 1957:

(1) “I’ll tell you one thing, if things keep going the
way they are, its going to be impossible to buy a weeks
groceries for $20.00.”

(2) “Have you seen the new cars coming out next year?
It won’t be long when $5000 will only buy a used one.”

(3) “If cigarettes keep going up in price, I’m going to
quit. A quartera pack is ridiculous.”

(4) “Did you hear the post office is thinking about
charging a dime just to mail a letter?”

(5) “If they raise the
minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire outside
help at the store.”

(6) “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,”

(7) “Kids today are impossible.
Those ducktail hair cuts make it impossible to stay groomed.
Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as
long as the girls,”

(8) “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.”

(9) “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.”

(10) “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 that they will be making more than
the President.”

(11) “I never thought I’d see the day all our kitchen
appliances would be electric. They are even making electric
typewriters now.”

(12) “It’s too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see
where a few married women are having to work to make
ends meet.”

(13) “It won’t be long before young couples are going to
have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both
work.”

(14) “Marriage doesn’t mean a thing any more, those
Hollywood stars seem to be getting divorces at the drop
of a hat.”

(15) “I’m
just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door
to a whole lot of foreign business.”

(16) “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.”

(17) “The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice
weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.”

(18) “There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha anymore
for a weekend. It costs nearly $15.00 a night to stay
in a hotel.”

(19) “No one can afford to be sick any more, $35.00 a
day in the hospital is too rich for my blood.”
