Comments made in the year 1955:

"I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's going  to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $20."

"Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before $2000 will only buy a used one."


"If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack  is ridiculous."


"Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to  mail a letter?"


"If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire outside  help at the store."


"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."


"Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts make it impossible to  stay groomed. Next  thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls."

"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.

"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 ."

"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 they'll be  making more than the president."

"I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances would be electric. They are 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."

"Marriage doesn't mean a thing any more; those Hollywood stars seem to be getting divorced at the drop of a hat."

"I'm just 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 ?
