From: marys2t@aol.com hi i remember being in milwaukee wisconsin[born in 1935] and hving those little tokens too, we had stickers for gas, and shoes and sugaretc. i remember stsnding i line for my mom for a a chicken. we lived with my grandparents[as a lot of families doubled up' and remember rolling cigaettes for my parents cause cigaretts were hard to get too. women couldnt get nylons so they used so9me kind of make up for their legs and draw a seam up the back. thats when a lot of mumps and differnt diseases were around and you had to have a big quarentine sign on your door so no one could leave. peoplke would buy a street car pass to ride them. we couldnt fford one and we would borrow the neighbors once in a while if we really needed to go some where.we would save all of our fat and take it to the butcher, an i temember all,the butchers having heaps og saw dust on their floors. never did know why.one thing tho.. people were a lot more neighborly back then and eveyone trie to help each other. gg: ------------------------ Yahoo!
