NCR - Did you say this in 1955?

'I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way
they are, it's going to be impossible to buy a
week's groceries for
$20.00.

'Have you seen the new cars coming out next year?
It won't be long before $2, 000.00 will only buy a used one.

'If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit.
A quarter a pack is ridiculous.

'Did you hear the post office is thinking about
charging a dime just to mail a letter

'If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, nobody
will be able to hire outside help at the store.

'When I first started driving, who would have thought
gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon.
Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage.

'I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more.
Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with
saying DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND, it seems
every new movie has either HELL or DAMN in it.

'I read the other day where some scientist thinks
it's possible to put a man on the moon by the
end of the century. They even have some fellows
they call astronauts preparing for it down
in Texas ..

'Did you see where some baseball player just signed a
contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball?
It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be
making more than the President.

'I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen
appliances would be electric. They are even
making electric typewriters now.

'It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see
where a few married women are having to work to
make ends meet.

'It won't be long before young couples are going to
have to hire someone to watch their kids so they
can both work.

'I'm afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the
door to a whole lot of foreign business.

'Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the
Government takes half our income in taxes.
I sometimes wonder if we are electing the best
people to congress.

'The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather,
but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.

'There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha anymore
for a weekend, it costs nearly $15.00 a night to
stay in a hotel.

'No one can afford to be sick anymore, at $35.00 a
day in the hospital it's too rich for my blood.'

'If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it.'
