(Most boys spent their time on these pages)
I wasn’t born until 1939 but I remember catalogs very well, mostly Sears and Roebuck. I thought for fun you all might like to peek at the 1934 Catalog:
Silk stockings 55 cents….
And the kids clothes were priced right:
But we must remember folks in North Carolina were working 60 hour week for $10.00. About $.16 an hour.
Got you an Ice box for $12. Do I spy a chamber potty for 49 cents?
Shirt sensations………………….
Clothes stay clean washed in the Copper bottom was boiler. look free soap!
Mama ordered her chicks every year, they came in a card board container with holes punched in the sides. Then from the box to the (?), did she call it a brooder? had a 29watt light bulb to keep them warm.
Thanks for coming this way, just remember if you order over a $100 worth, both husband and wife must sign the order form. TRUE
Thanks for coming this way for at touch of the past and thanks to Shirl for the catalog. She still uses it to order from, I had to send it back.
(BTW I did not get the crown the other day, as I was leaving for the dentist, I lost a filling just beside the expected tooth for the crown, Dr. Cobo said, Must fill First! so $159 dollars later, I am out w/o a crown, maybe next week! Will I ever get my kingdom?)

Observations on Growing Older
*****The five pounds you wanted to lose is now 15, and you have a better chance of losing your keys than the 15 pounds.
******You realize you're never going to be really good at anything – especially singing . *****Your mate is counting on you to remember things you don't remember.
****** The things you cared to do, you don't care to do, but you care that you don't care to do them anymore.
