QUOTES FROM THE FIFTIES
1) "I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they
are, it's going to be impossible to buy a weeks groceries for
$20."
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 quarter a 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 40 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off
leaving the car in the garage."
7) "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."
8) "Do you suppose television will ever reach our part of the
country?"
9) "I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances
would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters
now."
10) "It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where
some married women are having to work to make ends meet."
11) "Did you know the new church in town is allowing women to
wear slacks to their service?"
12). "Why in the world would you want to send your daughter
to college? Isn't she going to get married? It would be
different if she could be a doctor or a lawyer."
13) "There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha anymore for
a weekend. It costs nearly $15 a night to stay in a hotel."
14) "If a few idiots want to risk their necks flying across
the country that's fine, but nothing will ever replace trains."
15) "We won't be going out much anymore. Our sitter informed
us she wants 50 cents an hour. Kids think money grows on
trees."
