| I remember it all except for the Aluminum Christmas Trees. And I do not remember what a bottle of Coke costs. I seem to remember 10 cents in the middle 40's but my memory may be fading. | |

| I remember everything you posted there Salty. I remember gas being as low as .14 cents a gallon though, and I do remember the Aluminum Christmas trees, because we had one. We only had it for one year though. Those things were really neat, thanks for that post. Jim  | |
