WHAT PEOPLE WERE SAYING IN 1955

If cigarettes keep going up in price, I’m going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous.

I read the other day where some scientist thinks it’s possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas .

When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we’d be better off leaving the car in the garage.

Let me tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it’s going to be impossible to buy a week’s groceries for $20.00.

It won’t be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work.

I’m afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door to a whole lot of foreign business.

The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.

No one can afford to be sick anymore, at $35.00 a day in the hospital it’s too rich for my blood.
