My mom talks about that too. It was the high light of the weekend. go pic out your next dress at the general store tsaligsds@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote:Actually the glasses used to come IN the soap box. My Grandmother and Mom would check the box to make sure it was the right pattern LOL Never had any THAT I KNOW OF but Mom talked about going to the store when she was a child with HER mother to pick out the flour sacks with the prettiest patterns for night gowns and undies LOL Thats back when flour came in fifty pound cloth bags. Actually they were quite pretty flower prints. I have a couple of those bags left in my Grandmother's cedar chest.

Website updated 11/04 -------------- Original message -------------- I can remember the "ride in my car fee" for my older Brother and Sister was to pump their gas whenever they needed it. If the gas was more than 1.00, they would make me take the difference out of my allowance! HA HA!!! I learned quickly to watch for whatever station was below 1.00. That would have been late 80's early 90's. I also have some glass dishes and things from my Great Grandmother. I remember hearing something about how she would save something from soap.... and then send them in to get things. Is that the S&H stamps you all are talking about?
