Remember when gas stations gave those kinds of premiums and green stamps besides? Got a lot of good stuff with the green stamps-even went to the S&H Green Stamp redemption center in Azusa, CA I think it was-husband was on business trip there-luggage extras were free on airlines back then- a LOOOOONG time ago.

In the early 1960s My family was living in a housing project in a big city. We had German Cock Roaches because the row houses were built on former horse stables. They did not bother us. When you are a child it is amazing what you can get used to.
If memory serves me, there were two kinds of green stamps my Mother had books for. Merchants Green Stamps ans S&H Green Stamps. My Mom shopped for used clothes for us at the Salvation Army Store, the Salvo to us, and John's Bargain Store.
My wife grew up as an only child. Spoiled rotten. I often tell her that if she had been one of our litter mates, she would have been one of the weak ones who didn't make it.
