    Well,The only number I don't remember is 19.My Mother baked all of our bread from scratch every day...On Sundays she would bake homemade Dinner rolls...And this was not in a "Bread Machine"

    I can remember our first oven was powered by wood.

    I did'nt know what "store bought" sliced bread was until the first time I had a sandwich at a friends house.

    I can remember pumping water out of the small hand pump in the kitchen into the "dry" sink.

    Damn,the more I think about it,I am older than dirt:D

    Only because my father collected and used antiques around the house I got a 7, otherwise it would have been 3.

    My score was 17.

    My daddy had not one, but two Packards. One of them was a yellow convertible, circa '51 - '54. I don't even like to think what those cars might be worth today.

    I never heard of cracker night, I heard of and knew what an ice box was, but never saw one in operation. Believe it or not, there was still a milk company that delivered milk around here up until about three years ago.

    Who remembers the Jewel Tea trucks??

    Only we had milk delivered in glass bottles with cardboard tops, not foil.

    Me and my 5 siblings would fight over the cream at the top of the bottle,YUMMMMM;)

    Which kind of candy cigarettes are we talking about? I remember 3 different kinds-chocolate, taffy, and then some kind of pressed sugar ones -they looked like THIN pieces of chaulk-with pink dye on the ends, to represent the embers?
    Anyway, I got 9/25.
    Dammit, I just saw another one I remember. Correction-10/25

    The chocolate smokes had some seriously good chocalate in them.
    Some of the pressed sugar smokes were the "deluxe" version; if you blew through them (paper wrapper still on), fake "smoke" would come out.

    Of course, that was back when men were men

    I scored a 12. Beat that beyitches.

    3 yay for me!

    hate ya, sweet young thing.:eek:

    I remember 23 I proabably know all 25 but am so old I just forgot about the other two.

    I grew up in the city of Chicago. In addition to the Milk Man, My Mom had bleach and clothes soap delivered, he was called the Linco Man, we also got our breads (regular and sweet) delivered from the Bread Man who came each day. A guy would come around about once a month selling Fuller Brush hair brushes, sometimes my mom would buy some and one fellow would pull a stone wheel behind his bike that could sharpen your knives. Of course the Good Humour man came each day, I loved the sound and sight of that truck and the man in his white work suit passing out the ice cream bars and popsicles. My Dad worked real hard.

    The question is do they know what three on the tree is? I have had a few of these:D
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    The 'smoke' is what I remember most. That's probably why they went away- seemed too real!!!
    I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!
