Dreaming - You must not be old enough
You must be old if you needed to learn how to double clutch to drive.
Man folks have it easy now with paddle sifters and sweet syncrows (sp) In my case I started out with 1st not having a syncro - by the end 2 had no syncro and 1st was missing a gear tooth. But I sure had fun It was a 60's IH Travelall. It had pozi so pulling doughnuts in the school parking lot was easy. Our first school drivers ed car was a Nova SS 350 with 4 speed - had it 3 weeks and then they got us a Chevel SS with auto. Our necks and nerves felt better. I missed that Nova though - burn outs at the traffic lights and the look on the driver eds face while he had his foot mashed on his break peddle. It must have had low gearing as you could chirp going into 4th. Needless to say I was not his favorite student.
Sure came in handy as the Scout camp had a surplus 6x6 and no one could drive a clutch but I could. Was used to haul the canoes down to the river and other stuff. If I remember it had 3 levers (could have been 4) and 16 gears and no syncros. One week we picked up used RR ties - I did all the driving including getting into 6x6 granny mode (RR foreman showed me how)2018 Reflection 150 Series 220RK 5th wheel with 6K axle upgrade.

UTZ potato chips home delivered in a big tin.
How about trash men who went to the side of your hose, emptied your trash into a big square of burlap. Slung that over their shoulder. After 2 or 3 houses empty the burlap into the trash truck.Charles and Susan

Not only did my aunt have Charles Chips delivered in a tin, the milk delivery included pasteurized milk and you could pour the cream off the top for coffee. She perked the coffee on the half of the stove that was gas, instead of the other side that was wood burning.

OMG, I remember this from the trailer Dad purchased when he took us to Yellowstone in 1968.
Also, the trailer hitch was welded to the Ford Country Squire Station wagon. Dad took me to the trailer dealer when they welded the hitch to the frame. That's where he first told me not to watch the welding because it would burn my eyes. As I a six year old child, it didn't make sense that my eyes would burn, but he was Dad and you did what he told you to do or not to do in this case.
Cheers.

Hi Kay,
Temple Dairy, in glass bottles with the waxed cardboard cap. I’m just a smidge too young to have seen my grandmother purchase the bottles with the bulge in the neck (made it easier to pour off the cream), but she had some empty ones stashed in the basement.

1. Remember the screw jacks we carried to each corner of the trailer?
2. Remember buying and installing a $40 hand-rollup awning from Penny Store? (And how it ripped easily in the wind) Early awning had a rope sewn on one edge for hand stringing in a small guide along top edge of trailer.
3. Electric outside porch light that unscrewed for traveling.
4. Furnace stood from floor to ceiling and had no blower.....gravity heating.
5. gas inside light.
Anyone care to suggest a good...
