Yeah, I very much enjoy these flashbacks. However, I could be wrong, but I bet these people. of these bygone eras were probably more ignorant about the real workings of the world than we slaves are this day. Ignorance is bliss, yes? Did it matter? Maybe that the overlords were not so overt in their attack on humanity back then. Sigh.
I sure remember how we carried our books in our arms in high school, and these girls are all doing it the "cool" way (except the one at far left). The uncoolest way was to have the stack in the crook of one arm and over on your hip, but at least you had one arm free! Seems so precarious now, so easy for the whole pile to slide off. And both hands needed to keep them in place! Backpacks are so much better.
S&H stamps were like gift cards. A book of stamps was a great wedding present. I remember finding a drawer full of stamps at a Great Aunts’s house. A cousin and I spent a whole day filling the little stamp books.

Is the Kathrine Ross below K mart?

Got my first “real” fishing pole with top value stamps.
I’m glad to be old!
I have an avocado green refrigerator 😀
My mom had a Kelvinator Fridge from 1954…..still running when she passed in 2002! 🥰🥰
That last Shell station is AI though.
I’m surprised how much leg and boobs are showing in the top black-and-white photo as a regular advertisement in the 50s or whatever
No wonder why we have such perversion now. They started with that stuff right away on TV
Heck, go check out magazine/newpaper covers in Europe…

Dad still has the freezer version
I want an avocado green refrigerator. I want my appliances to live forever.
I have my Mom's Avocado Green Kitchen Aid mixer from 1972. Still works great.
