When I was 6-7 years old I was lucky to get a nickel much less 25 cents. I take tat back, I would get 25 cents a couple of Saturdays per month to go to the movies. 15 cents admission 5 cents for a fountain coke and 5 cents for popcorn. Double feature , usually westerns, serial, cartoon and coming attractions... go in at 10 in the morning and leave at 5 0r 6 in the afternoon. Walk 2 miles home, trying to get home before dark.

I had a paper route and mowed yards.
Goillini and I use to ride by you all the time when you were walking home. Probably could have stopped and offered you a ride. But we did blow the horn and wave.
Never had a paper route but did sell Grit. Also make pop holders out of sock loop and sold them for 5 cents each. Sold Burpee seeds and various other things.

I sold Grit for a while, seeds, Christmas Cards and a cleaner that I can't remember the name of. Also rode one of these one summer.
Remember the ads in the back of comic books? Save your money and send it off. Always to somewhere in California. Check the mail box every day for six months. Never could get those invisible glasses to work though.
So you're the guy that used to come around every Saturday selling Amway.
