Hi Dee,
Well here's your old grama back again. This story is going
to be about funny books (comic books)--very expensive funny books.
When I went funny
book shopping as a ten or twelve year old they were ten cent apiece.
About every two weeks my mom would walk me down to the corner of First
and Main Street where
Palmtags drug store was located. There
were racks and racks of funny books to choose from. If I had been good
all week and did all my chores my mom would give me ten dimes and that
meant I could buy ten funny books. Yes they were only ten cents each!
After they were read, then the trading started. I had quite a few
friends in the neighborhood and they also had books. I would pick out
three or four and the trading started. After a few weeks my mom again would walk me to Palmtags drug for more comics.
A long
time ago the streets were changed---what used to be First Street and Bridge Street were changed to Riverside Drive, so no more Palmtag
drugstore.
As a young girl I went to school with a Palmtag
and there is still more around town. She had three sons, grandkids and
great ones. We sure multiply as time goes by.
Till next time.
Mom,
grama,and great
Ten dimes is a large amount of money. Thank you for sharing bits of your life. I so enjoy reading them. Blessings to you.
